Product Packaging & Waste

This month on EnvironMental we are focused on packaging! In our first week, we talk about what constitutes packaging and we define what the issue is when it comes to packaging and waste - MOST of the packaging that we buy ends up in a landfill. While there are a ton of packaging options out there, there isn't a perfectly sustainable solution to the packaging waste problem just yet. Plus the best, most sustainable option (reducing consumption and/or reusing any "single use" plastics) brings about a modicum of shame that we need to move past as a society. Subscribe to get notifications for the upcoming EnvironMental podcasts where we're going to: - Review the book: The Future of Packaging: From Linear to Circular by Tom Szaky (Founder of TerraCycle) - Talk to a sustainable packaging specialist in the industry - Offer solutions to brand and consumers alike.
