A woollen kayak? Crazy ideas saving the planet

Shear Edge Managing Director Logan Williams recognised an issue in the oversaturation of waste in the wool and plastic industries. His work resulted in the world’s first woollen kayak, made of fully recycled materials, alongside a number of sustainably produced inventions.

Logan is a keen inventor always on the lookout for a problem worth solving. In this episode of From Idea to Intellectual Property, he shares the complexities of the inventor process with host Lisa Leong. AJ Park Principal Dr. Hannah French provides insight on the role of patents in the inventorship process, and how intellectual property protection helps bring these big sustainability ideas to life.
