We also delve into Christopher's advisory roles, such as his work with Million Marker, which focuses on biological testing to tackle issues like plastic contamination. This ties into his belief that sustainability and ethical considerations are paramount for brands exploring new technologies. By discussing the balancing act of innovation with environmental consciousness, Christopher provides valuable perspective on how tech can evolve responsibly.
