So that brought me kind of to 2022.
And the benefit of putting yourself in crazy situations and talking to people and networking is that I ended up meeting my business partner who uh for
We opened in June of 2022.
It's called Zero Lab.
It's in Florence and it is the first leather upcycling center and kind of circular design hub in all of Italy.
And that's what we focus on because it was very clear to me that I was not legal to just go around to factories and like dumpster dive for their leather outside of factories.
That's amazing.
It is technically industrial waste.
There's a lot of paperwork involved.
Yeah.
So a supply chain actually needed to be developed so that I could legally work with the material and also make sure I had enough material always coming in to be able to be a real grant.
Basically, and a lot of them were like, We would love for you to take our scraps, but legally we can't because they're technically industrial waste and we have to prove that we're throwing it away in the correct waste management chain.
Right.
But if you come back to us with a contra, it's called the contract di sottoprodotto, a sub product contract and but
in order to be uh just without a physical space to take in the material and all that kind of stuff, it was impossible.
So that's why I ended up opening up this other business with an Italian business partner here.
Um that's a physical space.
It's like four you know, like four hundred square foot mm no, it's like four hundred square meters.
What is that?
Four thousand square feet.
