Engineer leaves Dyson to help save the planet

An engineer left Dyson to help save the planet. Adam Root - CEO and Founder of Matter - said his new venture is so important not just for him, but for the environment and everyone else out there.

Mr Root - who has been a mechanical engineer for 12 years - was 27 years old when he left Dyson in 2017. Having been designing products for the last 10 years, he saw what was happening with the climate crisis and realised he wanted to use his "engineering superpowers" to do something positive for the world.

Now, he specialises in making innovative new products that are going to solve some of the biggest environmental challenges we are currently facing. He has spent a lot of time building his company, now known as Matter.
