The State of Sustainability Podcast is where we unpack the topics and trends of corporate sustainability, hosted by Saif Hameed, Founder and CEO of Altruistiq.This time, Saif takes the mic solo to dive into a topic that - according to former Starbucks CSO Michael Kobori - is about to become everyone's priority: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes.In this episode, Saif unpacks his "hot takes" on EPR that you won't find in standard reports. He explores:• The rise of EPR: How a concept once dismissed by the "Jesuits of capitalism" as fantasy has evolved into hard law across Europe and the US.• The hidden drivers: Why cash-strapped municipalities and visceral consumer concerns about waste are accelerating these schemes faster than traditional ESG regulations.• The compliance headache: The complexity of navigating fragmented global schemes and the "who watches the watchers" problem regarding Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and their conflicts of interest.• The market reaction: How the "fruit flies" of the corporate ecosystem (consultancies and software providers) are swarming to solve the data burden.• The opportunity for circularity: Moving beyond the "tax" mentality to a model where brands actually get their materials back - improving durability and reducing costs.Rather than viewing EPR simply as a cost of doing business or a funding mechanism for waste collection, Saif makes the case for a strategic shift - where forward-thinking companies use these schemes to close the loop on their own products, driving true additionality and system change.To find out more about what we do at Altruistiq, visit Altruistiq.comThis podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.

Exploring Sustainable Packaging Materials with Tim NotterIn this episode of The Packology Podcast, host Brandon Frank sits down with Tim Notter, VP of Materials and Business Development at Innovative Plastics, to explore the future of sustainable packaging materials. Tim brings decades of industry experience to the conversation, diving deep into cutting-edge materials like eco-shell, inno-pulp, poly-earth-lean, PHA, and PLA that are reshaping the packaging landscape.From bio-based calcium carbonate derived from eggshells to compostable resins and landfill-degradable polyethylene, Tim explains how these innovative materials are solving real-world packaging challenges. He also reveals the honest truth about cost barriers, the impact of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation, and what it will take for these materials to achieve mainstream adoption in the next 5-10 years.In this episode, we'll talk about:Why eco-shell (eggshell-derived bio calcium carbonate) can reduce plastic usage by 30-50% while maintaining recyclabilityHow inno-pulp, a wood pulp and PLA blend, offers BPI-certified compostable packaging solutionsThe differences between PHA and PLA bioplastics and their respective market readinessWhy cost remains the #1 barrier to adoption—with sustainable materials running 3-4x more expensive than conventional optionsHow EPR legislation in five states (California, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland, and Maine) could change the economics of sustainable packagingThe surprising benefits of adding calcium carbonate to packaging: heat deflection, UV protection, and improved stiffnessPoly-earth-lean's unique position as a recyclable, bio-based, landfill-degradable polyethyleneTim's roadmap for brands wanting to transition to sustainable packaging solutionsWhy PLA has a stronger near-term future than PHA due to existing infrastructure and production capacityTim Notter is the VP of Materials and Business Development for Innovative Plastics, a custom thermoformer with locations in New York, Nashville, and Phoenix. With decades of experience in the packaging industry, Tim specializes in sourcing and commercializing new sustainable materials, educating customers on recyclable and compostable options, and helping brands navigate the evolving landscape of EPR legislation and sustainable packaging requirements.For more information and to explore other episodes, go to https://packologyconsulting.com/podcast-1Follow Pacific Packaging on social media!LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pacific-packaging-components-inc-/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PPCPackaging/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ppcpackaging/?hl=enWebsite: http://www.ppcpackaging.com/

But how do we capture and use it? Rebecca Hu-Thrams, co-founder and CEO of Glacier, is deploying AI-powered robotic sorters at material recovery facilities (MRFs) across the country, processing recycling for one in 10 Americans. Her robots use computer vision trained on more than 3 billion images of waste to identify and sort over 70 different materials—picking 45 items per minute, 24/7, in conditions that would exhaust or injure human workers. As much as 80% of what Americans put in blue bins never gets recycled. The culprit is outdated technology at MRFs, the vast sorting operations struggling with a labor crisis so severe that facilities often refill the same sorting job five times a year. The work is dangerous, with injury rates twice that of construction. Rebecca, a first-generation American who grew up washing margarine tubs for reuse, saw an opportunity to apply cutting-edge technology to what she calls "the most demented form of manufacturing on the planet." The results are tangible. At oneDetroit MRF, an AI camera on a residue line revealed the facility was losing massive amounts of PET bottles to landfill, material they suspected was slipping through but had never quantified. By adding a single sorter based on that data, they achieved a two-thirds drop in PET sent to landfill and earned $138,000 in additional annual revenue.But Glacier's robots do more than sort. They create an intelligence layer for the circular economy, generating data about what's actually in the waste stream—down to specific brands and packaging designs. Amazon, which has invested in Glacier through its Climate Pledge fund, is using this data to understand what design features make packaging easier or harder for AI to detect, moving from "technically recyclable" to "provably recyclable." With extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws spreading across the U.S., this kind of brand-level accountability will become table stakes. Rebecca notes that EPR has improved recycling rates by over 40 percentage points in parts of Europe. Glacier's vision is to transform recycling from a reactive cost center into advanced manufacturing, built on three pillars: a reliable data layer, consistent automation, and higher-quality feedstock. "MRF managers show up to work, turn on the lights, and hold their breath and wait to see what new, crazy things come down their conveyor lines," she said. "What I hope is true for recycling in the coming years is that producers are making things designed to be really easy to recycle."We're still in the early steps of a long recycling evolution, but the gap between where we are and a truly circular economy may close faster than the past 60 years of recycling's progress would suggest.

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.

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.
