Good Garbage with Ved Krishna Pakka

Hello, hello! We all know the importance of end of use in compostable products - so we decided to go straight to the source! This week it's Jennifer Trent, the president and Linda Norris Waldt, the Deputy Director, of the US Composting Council.

We can't overstate the importance of communication between the compostable packaging industry and composters themselves! Their joy and excitement for their work shines through in this episode. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Good Garbage Episode 54

Presented by Pakka

Hello, hello! Joining us on Good Garbage this week - we have the CEO & CRO of WinCup, Brad Laporte and Michael Winters. We knew we had to have them on the show when we saw their product, Phade straws. Made from PHA and inspired from the infamous straw in a turtle’s nose video - we were inspired by their brand. But as the conversation went on, we learned so much more.

Good Garbage Episode 51

Presented by Pakka

Hello, hello! It's our 50th episode - and we are so excited to share this conversation with Pulpac CEO Linus Larsson Green!

He joins Ved to talk about their dry molding technology, all the patents they have, how legislation is changing in the EU towards anti-pollution and how it will affect sustainable packaging, and to explain the power of "swedish common sense".

Thank you so much to all of our listeners. We could not be in a better place as we reach our 50th episode, and we can't wait for the next 50. We will continue to spread as much knowledge about leaving this planet cleaner as possible.
