<p>What if hempcrete could pour like pancake batter?</p><p>In this episode of Bite-Size Climate Tech, Lydia talks with Dr. Marc Maguire, Chief Scientific Officer at Bison Biocomposites, about Biofill, a flowable hemp-based insulation designed to make a traditionally labor-intensive material fit more easily into modern construction.</p><p>Along the way, we somehow get from snowballs to shaving cream, pancake batter and finally an ice-cream sandwich, all in the name of explaining what happens inside a wall.</p><p>Marc also gets into the harder commercial questions: why conventional insulation is so difficult to replace, what “better, faster and cheaper” really means, and what happens to the hemp supply chain if construction demand starts to scale.</p><p>Plus, in Pass It On, we talk AI, engineering and why expertise still matters when the machine sounds convincing.</p><p><strong>Season 5: Climate Tech Is Just Good Business.</strong>Support Season 5:https://www.dayzeroproduction.com/bite-size-climate-tech/supportLearn more about Bite-Size Climate Tech:https://www.dayzeroproduction.com/bite-size-climate-techHosted by Lydia ChenProduced by Day Zero ProductionFollow Bite-Size Climate Tech:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bite_size_climatetechLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/bite-size-climate-tech/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/02aADu5pkKjlVFGTxUNT5W?si=0b3c9a44c6db453bHave a guest suggestion, partnership idea, or climate tech story we should cover?Write to Lydia at lydia@dayzeroproduction.com Bite-Size Climate Tech is an independent climate technology show making hard ideas easier to understand.
