By nature, they are curious and driven to make a difference in the world using their business acumen and sustainability smarts. We sat down with ‘Erber’ Iulia Bleanda-Mogosanu, who has been working on a team that is building a prototype single-stage distillation unit.

This is a cool story in itself, but we also wanted the scoop on the genesis of this idea and Iulia’s role.
