Sustainable Packages, Manufacturers Willing to Sell Fewer Boxes, & More w/ James Malley (Paccurate)

If you are a bit of a shipping nerd like me, this is going to be a great episode. We are joined by James Malley the co-founder of Paccurate where they are helping product shippers use smaller boxes so less air is shipped, resulting in fewer trucks to get the same products to your destination. This is a juggernaut of a business as they are able to service ginormous companies with a very light staff and it all came out of just being experts in solving annoying problems in the shipping space. This conversation talks all about...The shipping industry as a whole including packaging materials and incentivesHow the government is bringing regulation surrounding scope 3 emissionsAnd how they built their companyIf you are at all interested in shipping products, this should be a really fun episode for you. If not, then maybe skip to the second half where we start to talk about building the company. Peace out! 🌎Topics: 6:14 about the packaging space10:26 Innovation in packaging14:26 some novel tech, but not much, at scale16:02 How shippers can incentivize better packaging practicesTOPIC CLIP: 12 ish to about 20 ish where the discussion surrounds incentives (It's in he clips)25:11 positive impacts of fewer packages27:34 Starting the company31:22 getting shippers & Mfgs to work together35:27 Challenges and advice to other founders37:!7 The raising process & advice to founders on that process41:!2 Partnerships44:04 Hiring & Talent46:16 Outlook on the future Links: Connect with James: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmalley/Paccurate Website: https://paccurate.io/Check out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: https://www.next-wavepartners.com/Join the Slack Channel:  https://cleantechies.slack.com/join/shared_invite/zt-pd2drz6d-N~9nURU5JlyMXv2ZiO5bAQ#/shared-invite/emailFollow CleanTechies on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clean-techies/ HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.
