    Saskia Van Gendt talks about her career journey; sustainability challenges & opportunities; the importance of knowledge-sharing; & her experience as a woman. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [04.52] How Saskia discovered a passion for sustainability, and how that passion grew into a career. “From a young age, I'd always felt a connection to nature… But, it wasn't until I was in high school and I did competitive debate. One of the debate topics was all about renewable energy, the environment and the impact of technology and innovation in reducing emissions from fossil fuels. And that's when a light switch turned on. It was a translation from a passion for the environment to some of the practical things we can do.” [07.03] How the sustainability landscape has changed since Saskia's first role at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2006. “It's important to take a long view. There's a lot of change that's needed, but we've also made a lot of progress… Now there are carbon accounting standards that are on the same level of credibility as financial accounting standards. So we've really matured in how we're approaching some of these issues.” [11.26] The biggest sustainability lessons Saskia learned from the consumer market during her time at retail businesses Rothy's and Method. “They both had a really engaged consumer fanbase… And that makes sustainability a little bit easier. You can engage the consumer directly because they're active, and they often come to the brand because sustainability is woven into the value proposition.” [15.01] Why Saskia embraced supply chain and joined Blue Yonder. “The supply chain aspects were always there… But there's been a general awareness that supply chain is almost the last frontier when it comes to addressing the embedded carbon emissions and waste that eventually make it to the consumer. So companies that really want to be responsible for all of their practices have to be looking to supply chain.” [18.26] Saskia's role at Blue Yonder, and the big sustainability initiatives she's currently working on. “If we're not addressing the elephant in the room, we're really not making a difference.” [20.41] Saskia's take on the biggest sustainability challenges in supply chain right now. [25.42] Key sustainability opportunities, and Saskia's advice for how organizations can prioritize sustainability and take strategic action for the future. “We know how interconnected all of the different parts of the supply chain are. But the reality is that companies have still been dealing with supply chain activity in an isolated way... I'm excited about the power of technology to bridge those gaps in a truly connected supply chain.” [29.50] Saskia's experience as a woman moving through government, consumer and B2B environments. [32.40] The importance of knowledge-sharing and engaging with a range of mentors to career success. “I have friends working in aerospace or manufacturing, and they have a completely different lens for how we approach sustainability. That crowdsourcing of knowledge across different industries, since sustainability is such a holistic practice, is really beneficial.” [35.47] Saskia's biggest inspiration, and her advice for people exploring a career in sustainability. “Sustainability isn't just one thing. If you have a speciality, whether it's packaging engineering, transportation management or inventory planning, you can fold sustainability as a passion and a knowledge framework into those specialties.” [39.08] What being an industry trailblazer means to Saskia, and the importance of representation for women. [41.17] The future for Saskia and her sustainability initiatives at Blue Yonder.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Saskia Van Gendt over on LinkedIn.

    In this episode of the People of Packaging podcast, host Adam Peek sits down with Michael Houston, President & CEO of Future Blue Group and Co-founder of Shower Pouch, for an insightful conversation that delves into his extensive career in packaging and his passion for innovative, sustainable solutions.Michael's Journey: From Corporate Giants to Entrepreneurial VenturesMichael shares his impressive career trajectory, starting with his time at major CPG companies like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, where he gained invaluable experience in packaging R&D and operations. He later transitioned to companies like Beachbody, where he began to focus on helping smaller businesses navigate the complexities of product development and market entry. His experience also includes roles at Unilever, working with beauty brands like Murad, Dermalogica, and Kate Somerville, and contributing to the Honest Company's IPO. This rich background has fueled his current entrepreneurial pursuits.Introducing Shower Pouch: The On-the-Go Hygiene SolutionA significant portion of the discussion revolves around Shower Pouch, a product born from a personal problem statement. Michael recounts how his father, serving in Afghanistan, highlighted the need for a better hygiene solution than just baby wipes. Collaborating with his business partner, Omar Jimenez (a talented chemist), they developed Shower Pouch – a high-quality, durable, and highly absorbent non-woven wipe designed to clean an entire body with just one product. The conversation touches on:* The Problem: Addressing the need for convenient and effective hygiene solutions for military personnel, hospital patients, and even active individuals on the go.* The Innovation: The use of a specialized non-woven material that is highly absorbent and durable, allowing for efficient cleaning.* Sustainability Focus: Shower Pouch is designed as a durable good, emphasizing reusability and minimizing waste. The packaging even suggests washing and repurposing the wipes.* Convenience: The product can be used on its own or heated for a more comfortable experience.* Availability: Shower Pouch is available on Amazon Prime and through their website, theshowerpouch.com.Future Blue Group: Driving Sustainable Packaging for CPG BrandsMichael's consultancy, Future Blue Group, leverages his deep industry knowledge to assist CPG brands in various aspects of packaging. The discussion highlights:* Key Areas of Focus: Future Blue Group helps brands with cutting-edge technical packaging solutions, cost reduction, enhancing packaging aesthetics, improving customer experience, integrating sustainability principles, optimizing supply chain operations, and accelerating market entry.* Industry Successes: Michael notes significant success working with brands in the supplement space, where he helps optimize packaging for shelf stability and manufacturability, moving beyond generic stock options. He also finds considerable success in the personal care, masstige, and prestige categories, where he navigates complex material and formulation challenges to ensure both aesthetics and functionality.* The Importance of Data: Michael emphasizes the critical role of data in making informed packaging decisions. He advocates for a scientific, objective approach to sustainability, starting with verifiable data rather than relying on "greenwashing" or gut feelings. This is where tools like Specright.com and Trayak become invaluable.Sustainability in Packaging: A Call for ClarityMichael offers crucial advice for brands tackling sustainability:* Define Your Sustainability: He stresses the importance of clearly defining what sustainability means for your specific brand – whether it's compostability, recyclability, durability, or a combination. A clear definition allows for quantifiable goals and avoids being "all over the place."* Embrace Material Science: Understanding the materials you're working with, their manufacturing processes, and their environmental impact is key to making truly sustainable choices.* Beyond Greenwashing: Move past superficial claims and commit to science-based decisions that genuinely reduce environmental impact, particularly focusing on reducing CO2 emissions.Connect with Michael Houston:* LinkedIn: Michael Houston* Future Blue Group: Find them on LinkedIn* Shower Pouch: theshowerpouch.com* Email: michael.houston@futurebluegroup.com This is a public episode.

    Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I spoke with Ori Shaashua, Co-founder and CCO of Gigablue, a marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) company taking a radically scalable approach to the carbon challenge.Gigablue's MCFS (Marine Carbon Fixation and Sequestration) method taps into the ocean's natural carbon cycle by cultivating phytoplankton in floating substrates and using gravity, not high-energy processes, to sink captured CO₂ to deep-sea sediment for thousands of years. It's a low-energy, high-durability method that's already secured the largest ocean carbon removal offtake to date.We unpack why mCDR matters, how it compares to nature-based and tech-heavy CDR approaches, and what makes ocean deserts, like those off the coast of New Zealand, ideal sites for safe and measurable sequestration. Ori also outlines their scale-up pathway: from kiloton removals today to multi-megaton capacity by 2029, and potentially gigaton-level by 2035.We dive into the mechanics of traceability, the real costs of permanence, and why MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) is the make-or-break for CDR credibility. Ori also pulls no punches on what's holding back progress: delayed regulation, weak compliance markets, and over-reliance on short-term carbon offsets.If your company is thinking seriously about durable net zero strategies, or wondering how ocean-based carbon removal fits into the climate tech landscape, this episode delivers real insight.

    In episode 523 of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, I'm talking with Haley Stuart, filmmaker, environmentalist, and whitewater instructor. Haley joins us to discuss her work protecting rivers, collaborating with communities across the Americas, and raising awareness about mega hydroelectric impacts. Her journey inspires meaningful action for lasting environmental change. Show Notes What if I told you that rivers could teach us more about life than a self-help book ever could? What Happened: When Haley Stuart first dipped her paddle into a river, she wasn't chasing adrenaline—she was running headfirst into her fears. Growing up in suburban New York, she didn't even know kayaking was a sport. It wasn't until she attended a kayaking-focused high school (yes, those exist!) that she realized rivers weren't just a setting for adventures—they were life itself, rushing and relentless, filled with twists, turns, and lessons. At first, the sport terrified her. But over time, the pull of the water and the tight-knit community of paddlers won her over. What started as a hesitant curiosity turned into an unshakable passion. Traveling the world, Haley discovered the hard truth: many of the rivers she loved were under threat—from dams, mining, and neglect. She couldn't sit by and watch them disappear. That's when everything changed. She met indigenous communities who lived alongside these rivers, fighting daily battles to protect what had sustained them for generations. Haley realized something profound: saving rivers wasn't just about ecology—it was about people, too. And through her work, she's helping amplify their voices, blending storytelling, conservation, and sheer grit to make an impact. Principle: The heart of Haley's story? Real change starts when we listen. Listen to the rivers, the people who live near them, and the truth about what's really happening in the world's wildest places. Many of us dream of adventure, but few think about what happens when those landscapes are lost. It's not enough to explore the outdoors—we need to protect it. Transition: Too often, we underestimate the power of our choices—what we support, what we fight for, or even where we decide to paddle. We think, "Someone else will handle it," or "What difference can I make?" But here's the truth: you matter more than you think. Haley's work reminds us that our adventures and the decisions we make along the way can transform the fate of entire ecosystems and the communities they sustain. That's Why: That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast is a must-listen. Haley's journey from nervous kayaker to river conservationist will inspire you to think differently about the waterways we all rely on—and how you can play a role in preserving them. Call to Action: Are you ready to discover the adventure, responsibility, and heart that comes with loving rivers? Tune in to hear Haley's story. Don't just explore the outdoors—help protect it for the next generation. Amazonian Rivers Initiative Rios to Rivers Tuichi River Paddle Tribal Waters & Kayakimün

    Rerun: Identifying and Fixing Natural Gas Leaks in Cities, with Dr. Rob Jackson

    Methane in the Atmosphere: A Serious RiskMany of the solutions we often hear about when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions revolve around reducing carbon emissions, as carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. Methane, however, is the second most common greenhouse gas, emitted through agricultural practices, landfill waste, coal mining, and oil and gas operations. While methane generally receives less attention than carbon dioxide when it comes to climate solutions, recent studies have shown that it is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, methane has a global warming potential 28-34 times higher than CO2 upon emission, which increases to 84-86 times over a 20-year period. How does methane enter our skies?The concentration of methane in the atmosphere has more than doubled over the past century. Both everyday infrastructure in older cities and major leaks at oil and gas fields add to the quantity of methane into the atmosphere. As for the source of these leaks, they are largely caused by equipment failures or faulty pipes and vessels. 2,595 gas incidents have been reported in the US from 2010 to 2021, adding up to 26.6 billion cubic feet of methane gas emitted. Methane impacts both the climate system and public health; breathing methane can cause damaged airways, lung diseases, asthma attacks, increased rates of preterm birth, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and heightened stroke risk.  What can we do?Mining operations can be improved to reduce methane leaks and oil and gas operations can greatly reduce emissions throughout the system. As our tools of measurement and technology improve, the world has realized the greater need to attack methane emissions, which led to the Global Methane Pledge in 2021. In this pledge, 158 countries and the EU pledged to make a distinct effort to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030. Part of reducing methane emissions involves switching from fossil fuels to electricity generated from renewable sources.  According to Environmental specialist and Stanford professor Dr. Rob Jackson, our skies will become cleaner once we switch to cleaner, electrical energy sources, including electric heat pumps to cool and heat our homes, electric water heaters, and especially electric stoves. According to the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, methane emissions from gas stoves in America—when scaled to the 20-year global warming potential of the gas—were “comparable to the carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 500,000 gas-powered cars.” Health-wise, a study conducted by Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability and PSE Healthy Energy found that “children who live in homes with gas stoves had a 24% higher risk of lifetime asthma and a 42% increased risk of having asthma currently.” Dr. Jackson says that making the switch to induction stoves is not only energetically cleaner and prevents the likelihood of gas leaks, but it also prevents us from being exposed to toxic pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and benzene gasses that come from gas stoves.Some potential drawbacks: the cost of electricityWhile induction stoves and a cleaner, electrical society sounds optimal, there are some challenges and barriers to making this a reality. First of all, not every person can afford to implement an induction stove and replace their functioning gas stove, as home renovations, rewirings, and big purchases such as a new stove cost a great deal of money. In this way, income inequality plays a major role in the way climate change impacts different people in society. Dr. Jackson uses the example of a person living in a lower-income community; surrounded by older, poorly-maintained appliances, people in these types of homes often breathe dirtier air indoors than outdoors. This is why Dr. Jackson proposes that the shift to clean energy be gradual; fueled by regulations and government support. Without social support, equal access to cleaner energy cannot be achieved.In terms of major gas leaks, change is hard to make as an individual. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, the best thing we can do is to fight for national policy to repair and prevent leaks wherever they occur: whether at mining facilities or under our sidewalks. This is a difficult task, as all individuals can do is push for political action, however agreements such as the Global Methane Pledge seem to be steps in the right direction.Who is our guest?Dr. Rob Jackson is a professor and senior research fellow at Stanford University, and author of Into the Clear Blue Sky, a novel on climate solutions. His lab focuses on using scientific knowledge to shape climate policies and reduce the environmental footprint of human activities. Currently, he chairs the Global Carbon Project, an effort to measure and control greenhouse gas emissions.ResourcesUS Environmental Protection Agency: Overview of Greenhouse GasesUNECE: The ChallengeMIT Technology Review: Methane leaks in the US are worse than we thoughtPIRG: Methane Gas LeaksEnvironmental Defense Fund: How Methane Impacts HealthGlobal Methane Pledge: About the Global Methane PledgeJournal of Environmental Science and Technology: Methane and NOx Emissions from Natural Gas Stoves, Cooktops, and Ovens in Residential HomesAmerican Chemical Society Publications: Gas and Propane Combustion from Stoves Emits Benzene and Increases Indoor Air PollutionEnvironmental Defense Fund: How to stop natural gas leaksFurther ReadingThe New York Times: Did I Turn Off the Stove?

    Chad Dittberner of Werner talks about supply chain sustainability - challenges, alternative fuels, cost, partnerships, and why it's a strategic advantage.     IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [04.09] Chad's 32-year career at Werner, and an introduction to their Innovation Council and what it does. [06.37] The biggest sustainability challenges for the industry, and for Werner clients. “It can be messy aligning goals and initiatives. The overall pressure to reduce greenhouse gases is immense. There's progress in so many different things… But solutions aren't widely available at scale, especially in long-haul operations… And most of those solutions come with a premium cost.” [10.13] Why sustainability is good business, not just the right thing to do, and why it's a strategic advantage for Werner. [12.23] How Werner are helping organizations approach their sustainability efforts, a closer look at alternative fuels like bio and renewable, and what a future-ready fleet might look like. “What people often forget… is that the newest trucks on the roadway are very efficient and their emissions are much lower. So we believe in keeping the cleanest trucks on the road. Our average age of truck is just over two years old, the industry average is six plus.” [19.29] The impact of sustainability investments in both the short and longer term. “It's tough. We do a lot of exercises, and a lot them end with: ‘Whoa, I didn't want to pay any more money for that.' But we have to share that cost if it's going to work. Short-term, there are some operational costs incurred to get emissions savings and efficiency gains. But we're seeing many shippers who are prioritizing partnerships with carriers that can demonstrate sustainability progress.” [21.11] The importance of data for making smart decisions, and how Werner give real-time insight into sustainability issues like emissions. “It's a lot of information, it's a daily capture of fuel economies… and you're talking about millions of miles run every day. It becomes very difficult to do it in an Excel spreadsheet!” [23.27] How Werner use data to scorecard and report their own sustainability performance, and demonstrate their successes to inspire others. [26.11] Why it's so important that logistics solutions are scalable and built for sustainability. “To get real impact, efficiency requires solutions… And ultimately all of our big shippers want real solutions. Not just one lane, not just once in a while – they want it every day… It has to be scalable.” [29.17] Two case studies highlighting how Werner helped a food client overcome challenges to successfully establish an electric fleet, and helped another client add devices to trailers and save 3% in fuel economy. “Companies have different themes of what they're working towards. So we need to know where we are today and where we're looking to go tomorrow.” [33.52] From solar charging to carbon capture, the sustainability innovations Werner have their eye on for the future.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Werner's website to find out more and discover how they could help you too.
