Julia Bodin

Julia Bodin is a catalyst from Catalyst Lab 2. She graduated from EPFL in 2014 as an environmental engineer and has since dedicated her work to plastic pollution and behavioral changes linked to waste reduction and circular economy. In 2018 after a rocky path in research and then non-profit, she launched Let’s Talk Waste, a service company that offer environmental employee engagement activities for companies, cities and communities.

Last year, during the Catalyst Lab she met Boryana Milova and together they launched Future of Waste, a process that creates the right conditions for a transition to circular economy within a local, multi-stakeholder ecosystem. They are currently working on the first initiative in Arbon. Through her entrepreneurial journey, Julia has gained much experience in project management, facilitation, business development, communication, financing and administration. She has also dedicated some of her time to mentoring other developing projects through a hackathon and acceleration programs.
