Podcasts about Plastic

I know we spend a lot of time talking about what to eat but today, I want to talk about how we're cooking and storing that food. Because some of the most common kitchen items like plastic containers and old nonstick pans can quietly mess with our hormones thanks to chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS. In this episode, I'm walking you through some kitchen swaps I genuinely think are worth making. No overwhelm, no pressure just small changes that can make a real difference over time. If you're looking for easy, practical ways to lower your exposure to toxins and support your hormone health, this one's for you. LISTEN UP! The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women.

Plastic waste management is a complicated business.  Most methods of recycling or breaking down plastic are costly and harmful to the environment.  The most common biodegradable alternatives – like paper straws – are less than ideal replacements. There are many approaches to creating biodegradable plastics using feedstocks like seaweed, sugarcane, and other plant matter.  However, […]

Every plastic bag has a silver lining, and Ethan Estees has made a career out of finding it. The marine biologist and artist specializes in turning ocean trash—from plastic bottles to discarded fishing rope—into spectacular art pieces. His seascapes give a second life to the otherwise mundane material, offering an attractive introduction to the often depressing topic of ocean pollution. In this conversation, Ethan and I explored his process as an artist and spent a good chunk of time talking about the state of MPAs in California. Despite dedicating his career to environmental protection, Ethan has stuck his neck out for fishing communities over the past two years, calling out the misbegotten proposals by some environmental groups to close large swaths of California's fisheries. It takes courage not to blindly join a tribe in 2025, but some could argue this quality is requisite to make great art.If you dig this podcast, will you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts?

Plastic pollution along Australia's coastline has dropped by more than a third over the last decade. That's according to new research from Australia's national science agency CSIRO, published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin. The CSIRO has found a 39 per cent decrease in coastal debris density compared to ten years ago with just over 8000 debris items recorded across almost 2000 surveys.

Fiberdom, a pioneer in wood fiber material innovation, has secured €3.5 million in funding to accelerate the development and scaling of its patented technology and its high-performance, 100% plastic-free material. Fiberdom's mission is to replace non-essential plastics with scalable, circular solutions. Plastic-free, circular material innovations The funding will accelerate Fiberdom's strategic growth with strong investment in research and development and further commercialization of its technology and materials, as well as further strengthening of its core resources. This funding was raised from long-term investor Heino Group together with two new investors, Nordic Foodtech VC, and Holdix Oy, alongside a €0.6M grant from Business Finland. "This substantial investment, especially in today's challenging funding environment, reflects the confidence our investors have in Fiberdom's team and its capabilities, the potential of our supermaterial, technology, and mission. We have tested our material in numerous applications and discovered that it has massive potential," said Tomi Järvenpää, General Manager at Fiberdom. "The commitment from both long-term and new investors underscores the value of what we're building - a future driven by smarter materials that deliver durability and high performance without plastic." Fiberdom has developed a patented process that transforms natural wood fibers into a novel supermaterial that is formable, durable, 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and home-compostable. The company has successfully commercialized its first application, single-use cutlery that complies with the EU's stringent Single-Use Plastics Directive, which is now available through leading Finnish retailers and B2B channels. This market validation demonstrates Fiberdom's commercial readiness as it advances into new high-growth markets. "Replacing single-use plastics in food packaging and in serving and eating on-the-go food is one of the key pain points in the food system, both for the industry and for the consumers. Fiberdom's technology addresses all four critical corners of a winning solution: functionality, scalability, sustainability, and recyclability. We believe the cutlery is a great starting point for much broader innovation in plastic-free products," says Pekka Siivonen-Uotila, partner at Nordic Foodtech VC. Driven by consumer preferences, corporate sustainability commitments, and evolving regulations, there is a growing need for the pulp and paper industry to develop innovative alternatives that enable reliance on plastics to be reduced or even eradicated in non-essential applications. One of the challenges with existing fiber-based solutions is their limited formability and strength when used in demanding applications, often requiring additives that can compromise recyclability. Fiberdom's technology and material address all these issues, enabling companies to replace non-essential plastics across the entire industry, significantly reducing plastic consumption. The demand for plastic-free innovation is skyrocketing, with the global fiber-based packaging market alone projected to surge from $407 billion in 2025 to $567 billion by 2034, driven by increasing demand for plastic-free alternatives and regulatory measures promoting plastic-free materials. "This funding represents a pivotal moment for Fiberdom as we scale our breakthrough technology to address the growing global demand for truly alternative materials," Järvenpää explains. "We've proven our technology works commercially, and now we're ready to transform entire product categories through strategic partnerships with forward-thinking companies. The materials revolution is happening now, and this investment enables us to accelerate our mission of replacing non-essential plastics with superior material alternatives that deliver both environmental and performance benefits," Järvenpää concludes. Founded in 2019, Fiberdom is a Finnish materials innovation company that ha...

Who doesn't know the high-pitched whine of a nearby mosquito? We know they can be a nuisance, and in many regions, a health risk because of their ability to spread diseases. Some communities do public control campaigns, and increasingly, companies are offering home spraying of yards. But, the insecticides used in these sprays are broadly toxic to insects, and the risk they pose to pollinators isn't fully understood. In the summer of 2023, Xerces did a study looking at how these insecticides spread across the landscape. Joining us to talk about the study is Aaron Anderson, who has been a member of Xerces' pesticide reduction team for a couple of years. Aaron's work focuses on reducing pesticide use in residential landscapes, including promoting alternative pest-control measures and pollinator-friendly gardening practices. Prior to joining Xerces, he researched pollinator conservation in urban landscapes, restored habitat for several endangered butterfly species, and worked in insect biocontrol. If that wasn't cool enough, Aaron has been on Bug Banter before, also talking about mosquitoes.- Photo: Woodland Mosquito-Katja Schulz-Flickr CCThank you for listening!

Today, we have part one of a special two part birthday episode where we talk about date nights, marriage, a pivotal birthday story, and readings from spiritual mediums. All. The. Things.

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing threats to our oceans today. In this episode, we explore how microplastics—tiny fragments of plastic waste—make their way into tropical marine ecosystems and cause lasting damage. Whether it's through broken-down consumer products or fishing gear, plastic pollution infiltrates ocean habitats and harms marine life in ways we're just beginning to understand. Coral reefs, often called the rainforests of the sea, are especially vulnerable to plastic pollution. These vital ecosystems support biodiversity, protect coastlines, and sustain livelihoods. Dr. Lisa Rodrigues, a professor at Villanova University, shares her research on how microplastics impact coral health, disrupt growth, and even contribute to disease in reef systems. Plastics can also alter water quality and affect the delicate balance that coral reefs depend on to thrive. Marine debris isn't just unsightly—it's a serious ecological problem. From lionfish to tiny plankton, organisms across the food chain are ingesting plastics or suffering from habitat degradation. Dr. Rodrigues explains how even pristine-looking beaches can hide layers of microplastics beneath the surface. We also discuss how citizen science, beach cleanups, and community involvement play key roles in fighting plastic waste in coastal areas. Ocean conservation efforts must include tackling plastic pollution at its source. In this episode, we talk about the role of environmental policy, education, and innovation in reducing marine plastic waste. Whether you're an activist, student, diver, or beach lover, there are actionable ways you can help protect coral reefs and reduce the plastic footprint in our oceans.   Follow a career in conservation: https://www.conservation-careers.com/online-training/ Use the code SUFB to get 33% off courses and the careers program.   Do you want to join my Ocean Community?
