04 Who Is Responsible For Our Waste? with Sophie Walker, founder of Dsposal What Does Green Really Mean?

- Business
Meet Sophie Walker, co-founder and COO of Dsposal, a clean tech company helping businesses and individuals to dispose of their waste better.
Waste crime costs the economy in England an estimated 1 billion pounds a year and it’s believed that 18% of all waste is illegally managed. Despite proper waste management being a legal responsibility, for some, the financial gain outweighs the likelihood of getting caught. This is not just a huge economic issue, but the impact on the environment of improper waste management is devastating.
Sophie, alongside her business and life partner Tom, is on a mission to provide transparency in the waste management sector. It might not sound sexy, but it’s arguably the most critical piece of the sustainability puzzle - once we’ve bought less, reused and recycled as much as possible, disposing of our waste is the final step.
I really enjoyed talking to Sophie for this episode, her energy and enthusiasm is just infectious. I hope you enjoy listening.
