EP 3: Philip Reiser - Giving New Life To Old Waste

How much does taking out the trash a few times a week affect the planet? More than you'd think. And even more surprising than how much waste we generate as individuals or small groups is how a few dedicated entrepreneurs turn our trash into pure gold.   Philip Reiser is the founder of SINBA, a Peruvian waste management company that helps businesses manage their waste sustainably and recycle materials to create new products that otherwise would be dumped into a landfill.   In this episode of Thinking Green, Mo and Philip dive deep into how Philip's love of nature led him to a career in responsible waste management, what it takes to raise a startup from day one and how to be sure you are devoting your life energy to a meaningful, impactful endeavor, the challenges of creating awareness about a problem most of us overlook every single day, and the simple steps you can take to start contributing to better, healthier waste practices. Tune in to become an active part of a more vital, more vibrant planet.   What You'll Learn: Why the way you do business - and the category your business fits into - carries a social and environmental impact (and why entrepreneurship is the way to go for the sustainability-conscious) What the "SINBA Cycle" is, and why collaboration is vital to its success How knowing the actual ins and outs of waste and recycling practices changes your entire decision-making process as a consumer And much more!   "We're all one… our life depends on the planet's health, on our community. You can have the best life, you can do everything properly, but if we don't take care of each other, it doesn't work, the system collapses. And we are a part of the system."   Philip Reiser     Contact Philip Reiser: The Waste-Free World by Ron Gonen Contact Philip on LinkedIn Instagram   How to Get Involved: Mohammed Abdalla is the Founder & CEO of Good Faith Energy and its subsidiary companies.
