Friday Five with Tal Chitayat of Full Circle Home
Tal Chitayat, co-founder + CEO of Full Circle Home, shares his thoughts on sustainability and a few favorites in this week's Friday Five.
Taiwan-born Tal Chitayat, co-founder and CEO of Full Circle Home, grew up in a country that produced plastic by the ton. He made it his mission to create better designed products that help eliminate single-use plastics in our lives, which was the impetus in co-founding Full Circle. Chitayat refers to it as “function without compromise,” and strives to create an intersection of beauty, function, affordability, and sustainability. They now share space with Soma, a hydration brand that mirrors Tal’s same values ? that there?s a higher level of what a green or sustainable product needs to do to convince people it?s better than its traditional plastic counterpart. In this week?s Friday Five Tal shares a few of his favorite things with us. Photo courtesy of Andrew Cribb

For me, running is therapy. It?s how I decompress, de-stress, and process all that is going on in work, life, family, and the world. I never listen to music while I run. I either take out my earphones, or if I really need to escape, I listen to podcasts (mostly NPR, cliché I know?). I think New York City is one of the best places to run. You always have a new route to take, a small park to discover, or a neighborhood to explore. And unless you bike, run or walk (a lot!), it?s hard to really see all that this city has to offer.
