In this episode of the Paris Paysanne Podcast I'll be talking with two innovative people involved in the zero waste movement in the world of craft beer. First I'll speak with Franck Grossel, the founder of Instead Mobilier which builds “brewed” furniture made from spent grain. Then I'll talk to Elsa Raverdy of Brewsticks, a company that takes spent grain and turns it into tasty, zero waste snacks.

Franck Grossel founded Instead Mobilier as part of his graduate thesis at design school in 2018. As an eco-conscious beer lover, Franck Grossel was driven to combine his passion with his professional experience as a cabinet maker by creating Instead Mobilier. His innovative enterprise takes spent grain and gives it a new life in the form of bar ready stools and other accessories.

In a previous life , Elsa Ravery was a specialized consultant, focusing on the wonderful and exciting world of waste management and circular economy. But after years working on reports and studies, many of which ended up gathering dust on a shelf, Elsa figured it was time to act and get involved in more useful things. Things that actually contribute to change the dominant system. Starting with Brewsticks, which uses organic spent grain to make tasty zero waste treats. You can taste Brewsticks at Brasserie de l’Etre and several craft beer bars in Paris.

Thanks so much to Franck and Elsa for taking the time to talk to me for this episode! Follow them on Instagram to keep up to date with their projects and new products. If you'd like to know more about the Zero Waste Hierarchy that Elsa spoke about you can find more information here.

Thanks as always to World Radio Paris for welcoming us into their family and for producing and distributing the podcast.

Thanks also to Ben Nerot, who wrote and performed the podcast's theme song and who has been pruning grapevines in the cold for two months and hasn't complained about his hands hurting once!

I'm looking forward to another year of podcast episodes to share with you- so keep tuning in and I'll be back in a month with another edition of the Paris Paysanne Podcast.
