Adam Lowry wants to shift the burden of sustainability from consumers' shoulders into manufacturers' hands. It was this idea that led Lowry and his childhood friend, Eric Ryan, to create Method, a company that makes eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. At the time, Lowry was a chemical engineer working as a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Science, with prior experience using biodegradable and recycled materials for car components. Method reincorporated in 2013 as a public benefit corporation, strengthening the commitment to the social and environmental ethics on which it was founded.

Adam was named Catto Fellow at the Aspen Institute and has been honored as one of Vanity Fair’s Global Citizens and PETA's Person of the Year for his pioneering work on sustainable business and product design.
