    Sustainable Packaging in Eastern Europe with Angela Ivanova | #75

    It took 75 episodes for us to get someone from Eastern Europe, and we couldn't have asked for a better representative! Angela Ivanova, the co-Founder & CEO at LAM'ON, is a Bulgaria based entrepreneur who is working along with Gergana Stancheva and Philip Ublekov to create a bio-based and compostable thermal laminating film. Currently in the final stages of development, their film provides a sustainable alternative to commonly used plastic for paper and cardboard applications and packaging foils for garments, cosmetics, food and book covers. Angela's personal journey is an inspirational one - of someone who's worked in the printing industry, sick and tired of the plastic she saw in and around her work, which eventually led to the environmentalist in her taking over and deciding to make a change.

    Elevating Sustainable Packaging with Rich Cohen | #74

    Hello, hello!  From a software engineer to the founder of a compostable packaging company, the story of Rich Cohen, our guest for this episode is the stuff of biopics! An environmentalist and problem solver at core, Rich was traveling on his sabbatical when he realised that plastic had reached even the most remote corners of the world. This is what led to him founding Elevate Packaging as a solution to this pervasive problem. His unique perspective of looking at things on a macro circular level is what makes him stand apart. Not only did his company make compostable packaging covering pretty much all the components from labels to tableware to gloves, but they also went on to partner up with Compost Stewardship Institute. This is to ensure their products end up in compost bins - where they belong - through their EPR takeback program. So tune in to hear about how he aims to eliminate a billion pounds of plastic annually and why he thinks the best thing for the planet would be for companies like his to go out of business!  Never miss an episode by following us on all our socials by clicking on the link below!   linktr.ee/goodgarbage Don’t forget to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ turn on your notifications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leave us a review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌱

    From Greenhouse Gas to Green Polymers with Molly Morse | #72

    Hello, hello! Here’s a riddle - What do Methane and Mangoes have in common? We’ll have to ask Molly Morse and find out!    CEO and co-founder of Mango Materials, Molly is working to produce biodegradable plastics (PHA) made from waste biogas that are economically competitive with conventional oil-based plastics.     Her journey from a civil engineer to doing her PhD in bio-based materials is inspiring to say the least! It also set her up to become an entrepreneur and work towards changing the regenerative packaging landscape.   A women-led company, Molly along with Allison Pieja Anne Schauer-Gimenez, started Mango Materials to turn their academic research into a reality.     Mango Materials, named after their favorite fruit, has developed a way to turn methane gas into a form of biodegradable plastics as a pellet!    Tune in to find out how they take this green gas and turn it into PHA pellets that are now being used in injection mouldings, fibres and food packaging!   Never miss an episode by following us on all our socials by clicking on the link below!   linktr.ee/goodgarbage   Don’t forget to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ turn on your notifications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leave us a review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌱

    Closures for a Cleaner Planet with Lars Sandberg | #71

    Hello, hello! We’re continuing strong in 2025 as we welcome the CEO of Blue Ocean Closures, Lars Sandberg in our second episode of this year!   With a mechanical engineering background and a speciality in paper and pulp, Lars used his expertise in fibre to create cellulose bases closures.   These cellulose fibers are strong, biobased and biodegradable and do not leave behind any microplastics when breaking down in nature. In this episode, we discuss at length the barrier technology, durability and dispersion coating of these closures.   Scalability is one of their main features and we discuss the experience and challenges of working with industry bigwigs like Absolut, Coca Cola, and L’oreal!   Tune in to get an insight into the development of these biobased closures and the journey of the man behind it all - Lars Sandberg!   Never miss an episode by following us on all our socials by clicking on the link below!   linktr.ee/goodgarbage   Don’t forget to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ turn on your notifications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leave us a review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌱
