95. The tech that could end overpackaged boxes, with Jude Pullen

from Talking Rubbish - The Recycling Podcast · host James Piper, Robbie Staniforth, Jude Pullen

It’s a familiar frustration, ordering something small, only for it to arrive in a box far bigger than it needs; wasteful and seemingly impossible to avoid. This week, we’re joined by Jude Pullen, a man on a mission to change that. Join us as we explore why companies so often get packaging wrong, uncovering the logistical challenges behind every delivery, and discover how Jude is using a blend of creativity and engineering to tackle this surprisingly complex problem. Join hosts James Piper and Robbie Staniforth as they delve into the world of recycling, hopefully having fun along the way. One thing is for sure, they will talk absolute rubbish from start to finish. We would like to have an evening Talking Rubbish to celebrate our 100th episode.
