What this episode covers

Do you know the difference between bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable packaging? When does it make sense to choose compostable packaging instead of recyclable packaging? Is there a label to communicate to customers what to do when they don't need their packaging anymore? That’s a sample of what Love-Ese Chile, Doctor in Chemistry, will address in this episode. As the founder and technical director of Regenerative Waste Labs, she is testing the biodegradation of companies’ products on multiple levels. And as the principal consultant at Grey to Green Sustainable Solutions, she is supporting innovations and advising on biobased materials available on the market.
