Waste to Value

Justin R. Wolf

Waste to Value is a bi-weekly podcast devoted to exploring the waste-to-value economy and celebrating the innovators who are creating economic and environmental value from harmful waste streams. Across markets and industries, builders and manufacturers are achieving some remarkable things, taking everything from forestry products and fabric to agricultural waste and so much more, and redirecting them into new materials that become critical feedstocks for the very things the human species needs to live and prosper. Hosted by Justin R. Wolf, an independent journalist working at the intersection of sustainable design, regenerative materials, energy policy, and climate justice, Waste to Value connects with manufacturers, technical innovators, and business leaders who are charting a regenerative future through restorative means, and giving shape to a new, ascendent industrial revolution.

    Ep.1 Solutions That Work: A conversation about carbon storage and removal technologies

    For the inaugural episode of Waste to Value, I connected with Lew Epstein, CEO of Lot21, a non-profit content platform and resource for advancing climate action across the built environment to help decarbonize the world. Lew’s environmental advocacy began decades ago with the emergence of the forestry stewardship movement and has since expanded to encompass a broader range of carbon removal solutions focused on restoring our climate. Our conversation delves into the topics of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and waste-to-value solutions, highlighting the evolution of these areas and their impact on climate action and sustainability. It explores the challenges, advancements, and applications of CDR, as well as the local and global impact of waste-to-value initiatives.
