Read along with this episode.Americans dispose of approximately 1.3 billion gallons of used motor oil annually, but only about 800 million gallons get recycled, and most of that is burned as fuel rather than re-refined into new oil. The plastic packaging oil comes in is more problematic: most curbside programs won't accept them because residual oil contaminates other recyclables. What happens when the companies that make motor oil embrace extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws that require recycling the oil and the containers it comes in? David Lawes, CEO of the Lubricants Packaging Management Association (LPMA), is leading what could become a national model for extended producer responsibility. Colorado just became the testing ground. In September 2024, five major oil companies—BP Lubricants, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Valvoline—founded LPMA as an independent producer responsibility organization.Colorado gave producers a choice: join the Circular Action Alliance, which manages all packaging and printed paper recycling in the state, or develop their own sector-specific program that demonstrates better outcomes. LPMA chose the independent path, arguing that petroleum packaging requires specialized handling that general-purpose programs can't provide efficiently. Lawes brings two decades of EPR policy experience to the role, including a decade regulating EPR programs in Canada. The program he ran in British Columbia achieves a 96% recycling rate for oil containers—compared to less than 1% in most U.S. states. "This is not about skirting the law or finding an easier pathway," Lawes explains. "It is about meeting the same results in an industry-friendly way."If Colorado's model works, it could reshape EPR programs nationwide. We discuss why petroleum packaging can't be managed through curbside programs, what lessons from Canada's more developed EPR system apply here, and whether the U.S. needs national recycling standards to harmonize the patchwork of state regulations.You can learn more about LPMA at interchange360.com.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Il governo prosegue sulla strada di un contributo straordinario dal settore bancario per finanziare la manovra. Il Documento di programmazione finanziaria prevede risorse per circa 4,5 miliardi, includendo per la prima volta anche le assicurazioni. L'ipotesi è una doppia misura: una tassa del 27,5% per l'affrancamento degli utili accantonati nel 2023 (pari a 6,2 miliardi nel complesso) e un'imposizione progressiva sugli utili futuri dal 2026 in caso di mancato affrancamento. Il gettito atteso è di 1,7 miliardi, cui si aggiungerebbero 1,1 miliardi dall'imposta del 26% sui dividendi distribuiti, arrivando a 2,8 miliardi. A questi si sommerebbero circa 900 milioni dal rinvio delle Dta residue e altri 800 milioni dalla replica della misura sull'Ifrs9 e sull'avviamento. L'Abi, riunitasi il 13 ottobre, ha ribadito la contrarietà a una nuova tassa sui profitti, giudicata retroattiva e lesiva del patrimonio, ma si è detta disponibile a un nuovo contributo volontario, purché sotto forma di anticipo di liquidità e non destinato a misure come la rottamazione delle cartelle. In studio Laura Serafini, Il Sole 24 OreModa, Urso convoca le associazioni del settore: Sistema Italia unito contro l'ultra fast fashionIncontro urgente a Palazzo Piacentini tra il ministro Adolfo Urso e i rappresentanti della filiera moda - tra cui Capasa, Sburlati, Lunelli, Marini e Vignolini - per affrontare la crisi del comparto. Urso ha annunciato un provvedimento contro l'invasione di prodotti a basso costo, completando il percorso legislativo avviato in Senato sulla trasparenza e la qualità del lavoro. Il nuovo intervento introdurrà la responsabilità estesa del produttore (EPR), imponendo anche ai marchi extra-Ue che vendono in Italia di rispettare le norme ambientali e di tracciabilità europee. Previsto anche un sistema volontario di certificazione "Filiera della moda certificata" sotto il controllo del Mimit e dell'Antitrust. L'obiettivo è difendere la concorrenza leale e valorizzare le imprese virtuose. Urso ha inoltre annunciato la convocazione del Tavolo della Moda per il 17 novembre, per definire un piano di rilancio del settore, penalizzato dal calo dell'export e dall'aumento dei costi produttivi. Ne parliamo con Luca Sburlati - Presidente Confindustria ModaCina sempre più in deflazione e aumenta l'export in Europa. Rischio invasione?La Cina è sempre più vicina a una spirale deflazionistica: a settembre i prezzi al consumo sono calati dello 0,3% su base annua e quelli alla produzione del 2,3%, confermando tre anni consecutivi di flessione. Pesano la crisi immobiliare, la domanda interna debole e la disoccupazione giovanile, mentre Pechino tenta di frenare la guerra dei prezzi con la campagna "anti-involuzione". Parallelamente, l'export cinese cresce dell'8,3% annuo, trainato da Asia e Unione Europea (+8,2%), mentre crollano le esportazioni verso gli Stati Uniti (-27%). Il rischio per l'Europa è un'invasione di merci cinesi a basso costo, effetto collaterale della guerra commerciale tra Washington e Pechino. Le tensioni si acuiscono dopo le nuove restrizioni cinesi all'export di terre rare, accusate dagli Usa di minacciare l'economia globale. Pechino replica promettendo di "combattere fino alla fine" nelle trattative commerciali. Il commento è di Fabio Scacciavillani, economista, editorialista Sole24 OreAumentano il numero e il valore dei veicoli commerciali in leasingIl mercato del leasing cresce del 5,2% nei primi nove mesi del 2025, con 26 miliardi di stipulato e quasi 559mila operazioni. Trainano i beni strumentali (+15,1%) e il comparto auto (+0,7%), grazie al balzo dei veicoli commerciali. A Milano, il 22 e 23 ottobre, si terrà la settima edizione del Salone del Leasing con 11 tavole rotonde dedicate a finanza, imprese e innovazione. Secondo Assilea, aumenta la quota di veicoli green (62,4% delle immatricolazioni leasing e noleggio) e il comparto immobiliare cresce del 3,5%, sostenuto dal segmento da costruire (+14,5%). Fortissimo il comparto aeronavale/ferroviario (+55,8%) e il leasing di impianti fotovoltaici (+24,9%). Il direttore generale Luca Ziero sottolinea che il leasing è uno strumento chiave per la crescita delle PMI: le imprese che lo utilizzano mostrano maggiore propensione all'espansione, alla digitalizzazione e all'export rispetto alla media nazionale.

What does it take to operate a waste management company in a market where you have to compete with a dump site fee of just one dollar per ton? In this episode, Daniel Paffenholz from Taka Taka Solutions details the realities of building an integrated waste management and recycling company in Kenya. He explains the immense challenge of scaling in a heavily fragmented and informal market, where you must compete against hundreds of other operators. We discuss the entire operational flow, from collection and sorting at their material recovery facility. Daniel describes the economic pressures of operating without gate fees and the strategic necessity to move beyond simple recycling into value-added compounding to build resilience against global market shifts. Recorded on site in Nairobi, this episode provides a ground-level view of the complexities and strategic decisions involved in the waste management industry in an emerging market.

This week: Keefe Harrison, chief executive of the Recycling Partnership, talks with Ian Welsh about how US recycling can scale through data, design, and new policies such as the Circle Act and EPR laws. They also discuss why fixing the system requires $17bn in investment and how CalFlex is reshaping flexible packaging recycling in California.   Plus: SBTi launches training to boost green skills; climate change displaces Bangladesh garment workers; Nespresso to launch regenerative certified coffee; and, why the Paris Agreement goals are slipping away, in the news digest by Ellen Atiyah.   Host: Ian Welsh   To continue the conversation on sustainable packaging, we will be in Chicago on 28-29 October for the upcoming sustainable packaging innovation forum.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail Podcast, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Michael Zabaneh, Vice President, Sustainability at the Retail Council of Canada, for an in-depth discussion on the future of sustainability in Canadian retail. With over 15 years of experience spanning global recycling ventures, luxury brands, and corporate advocacy, Michael shares a front-row perspective on how environmental priorities are reshaping the retail industry.Michael begins by unpacking the complexities of extended producer responsibility (EPR)—the regulatory framework shifting waste management costs from municipalities to producers and retailers. He explains how retailers are responsible not only for their private labels but also as first importers, making EPR compliance one of the most pressing and costly issues for Canadian retailers today. With more than 110 EPR programs across the country and compliance costs approaching $3 billion, this is a boardroom-level challenge with major implications for consumers and businesses alike.The conversation also dives into how retailers are embedding sustainability into their core strategies. From cutting energy costs with smart temperature controls and LED lighting to integrating renewable energy and recycling programs, sustainability initiatives increasingly deliver both environmental and financial benefits. Michael emphasizes that for mid-sized and independent retailers, sustainability is no longer optional—procurement, supply chain decisions, and operational efficiencies must all reflect responsible practices.Looking ahead, Michael previews the Retail Council of Canada's Retail Sustainability Conference 2025, now expanded to a two-day format on October 29–30 in Toronto. With workshops on zero-emission vehicles and harmonizing EPR regulations across provinces, the event is designed to deliver solutions-oriented dialogue. Attendees will also hear from Sheri Flies, SVP Global Sustainability & Compliance at Costco, and Jim Andrew, EVP & Chief Sustainability Officer at PepsiCo, alongside panels featuring McDonald's, Walmart, Loblaw, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble.Michael highlights how this event has quickly become one of RCC's flagship conferences, convening retailers, supply chain leaders, regulators, and governments to push forward practical solutions amidst economic uncertainty, climate commitments, and global plastic challenges.  The Voice of Retail podcast is presented by Hale, a performance marketing partner trusted by brands like ASICS, Saje, and Orangetheory to scale with focus and impact. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025, Thinkers 360 has named him on of the Top 50 global thought leaders in retail, RTIH has named him a top 100 global though leader in retail technology and Coresight Research has named Michael a Retail AI Influencer. If you are a BBQ fan, you can tune into Michael's cooking show, Last Request BBQ, on YouTube, Instagram, X and yes, TikTok.Michael is available for keynote presentations helping retailers, brands and retail industry insiders explaining the current state and future of the retail industry in North America and around the world.

That's where the biggest difference will come. - RyanSometimes the greenest thing from a greenhouse gas perspective is actually plastic, but it's the one that gets hit the hardest. - Ryan

Earlier this year, Washington became the seventh state in the US to pass an Extended Producer Responsibility Bill for packaging. The bill, SB 5284—The Recycling Reform Act—was supported by Upstream and civic and elected partners around Washington state, and includes something rarely featured in EPR bills: best practices for reuse.  In this episode, host Brooking Gatewood digs in with WA State Representative Liz Berry and McKenna Morrigan of the city of Seattle on how this bill got passed, what it means for recycling and reuse systems incentives in Washington State, and what other states can learn from it to start standardizing EPR and normalizing reuse requirements. Resources: WA EPR bill Minnesota EPR bill Seven Laws in, How is Reuse Faring in US Packaging EPR?The State of EPR Policy in the USEmbracing Reuse in U.S. Packaging EPR ProgramsGet involved:Join the Reuse Solutions NetworkSupport Upstream to make sure these stories continue to be heard and the reuse economy continues to grow — thank you!

In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Dr Ruth Kastner, physicist and philosopher, about her groundbreaking Possibilist Transactional Formulation (PTF) of quantum theory. Kastner argues that quantum mechanics reveals a deeper realm of ontic possibilities, beyond spacetime, where transactions between emitters and absorbers give rise to the physical world we observe.This conversation bridges physics, philosophy, and metaphysics, offering a radical yet rigorous vision of reality as fundamentally processual, relational, and deeply mysterious.

Send us a textIn today's daily drop, Peaches blasts through the latest ops headlines like a Hellfire through a Toyota Hilux. From exposing our hilariously thin missile reserves to roasting tech bros whose drones crumble outside PowerPoint presentations, this one's a full-body workout in situational awareness. AFRICOM's been busy lighting up Somalia, the National Guard's turning Northern Michigan into a drone graveyard, and Space Force is slinging lasers and quantum gadgets into orbit like it's Star Wars cosplay. Meanwhile, Air Force Global Strike Command promises a “seamless” transition—LOL—and another Humvee goes full NASCAR in Wyoming. Also, Tricare might finally stop fleecing military families for having adult kids. That's not just news, that's a miracle. Buckle up, team. This episode's got more truth than a cleared EPR.
