INTRODUCTIONNo, reusables are not just single-use items with a QR code slapped on to encourage reuse!

With her expertise in designing and distributing eco-friendly takeout solutions, she has firsthand experience navigating the challenges of transitioning from single-use to reuse systems.In this episode, we'll explore:Why eco-design must balance standardization with adaptability for different food applications.How a local supplier can play a key role in overcoming challenges such as condensation, traceability, and procurement hurdles.And what a well-thought-out end-of-life approach should involve, whether your packaging is recyclable or compostable.I admire Annie's dedication to collaborating with diverse stakeholders to address real-world needs. Her pragmatic and grounded view of reuse—as part of a necessary transition that still leaves room for certain single-use applications—feels refreshingly practical and actionable.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThe initial burning question came from Evelio in episode 29 “The impact of eye-catching packaging design as well as hidden structural design”: https://www.look4loops.com/packaging-podcast/ep29-user-experience-structural-design-luxury-tertiary  Check out the result of Annie's Apple Packaging Reuse project “White Box Lab” on this instagram account she had created for it: https://www.instagram.com/whiteboxlab/  Annie loved the series with Mme & M Recyclage: feel free to listen to them as well in episodes 28, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41 and 43.One of Cambium's main partners is an organization dedicated to the eco-responsible transition of cafes and restaurants and is called “La vague”: https://www.la-vague.ca/. Some other partners mentioned:Retournzy: https://retournzy.ca/ Ecocup: https://www.ecocup-quebec.ca/fc/service/shipping-returns/ Bopaq: https://bopaq.com/ Cupko: https://cupko.ca/ Cano: https://www.canocompany.com/ We also mentioned episode 12: “When cups initiate a reusable ecosystem to take the waste out of takeout” with Cody Irwin of ShareWares: https://www.look4loops.com/packaging-podcast/ep12-reusable-cup-takeout You are also encouraged to check the numerous webinars and content on Sustainable Packaging Coalition (https://sustainablepackaging.org/) of GreenBlue and on Ellen MacArthur Foundation with their initiative “Scaling Returnable Packaging” (https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/scaling-returnable-packaging/overview).WHERE TO FIND ANNIE AND CAMBIUM?The Cambium Distribution website with a focus on their reusable page: https://cambiumdistribution.com/cambium-reutilisable/ in French and https://cambiumdistribution.com/en/cambium-reutilisable/ in EnglishPress release about this reuse project: https://www.packaging-gateway.com/news/cambium-la-vague-reusable-containers/?cf-view LinkedIn of Annie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annie-legroulx/  Annie Legroulx website for her “Sustainable Packaging and Circular Design Consultancy”: https://www.dringdring.ca/ ABOUT ANNIE LEGROULX FROM CAMBIUM DISTRIBUTION Annie is a product designer specialized in eco-design and circular economy.

An diesen drei Themen kommen Unternehmen aktuell nicht vorbei, wenn sie in kurzer Zeit ein sauberes CSRD-Reporting aufsetzen und gleichzeitig ihre Emissionen reduzieren wollen: Generative KI, die Wahl der richtigen ESG-Software und eine gute Sustainability-Datenstrategie als Grundlage. *** Wiederholung einer der beliebtesten Folgen während der Sommerpause. Staffel 5 startet mit neuen Folgen schon am 27ten August! *** Stephan und Dilara, meine zwei Gäste in dieser Folge, diskutieren mit mir leidenschaftlich den Status quo zu diesen drei essenziellen Themen für Nachhaltigkeitsverantwortliche. Das Fazit: Generative KI verändert jetzt bereits die Arbeit von Nachhaltigkeitsmanagern. Vor allem als Helfer, um Wissenslücken schnell zu schließen. Das Thema entwickelt sich rasend, kommt aber auch mit gefährlichen Fallstricken daher. Viel wichtiger ist daher die Frage, wie man eine gute Nachhaltigkeitsdatenstrategie aufbaut und welche der vielen ESG-Software Lösungen die richtige für das Unternehmen ist. Und hier beginnt das große Kopfzerbrechen für die Verantwortlichen. Denn Stephan hat eine brandneue Studie im Gepäck, die zeigt, dass der Markt der ESG Tools starkt zersplittert und unglaublich vielfältig ist. Aber keine Angst - diese Folge liefert Dir in allen drei Themen Antworten: ✅ Was kann generative KI in Bezug auf Dein Nachhaltigkeits-Reporting und was nicht? ✅ Welche ESG-Software Anbieter setzen sich im Markt gerade durch? ✅ Warum brauchst Du interne Kompetenzen und eine gute ESG-Datenstrategie, bevor Du eine passende Software-Lösung aussuchst? Diese Podcast-Folge ist ideal für Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, CIOs, CTOs und alle anderen Menschen an der Schnittstelle von IT und Nachhaltigkeit. Der perfekte Guide zu einem Grundlagenthema für alle, die ihr Unternehmen nicht nur auf den Weg zu sauberem CSRD-Reporting bringen wollen, sondern vor allem erfolgreiche CO₂ Emissionen und Umwelteinwirkungen reduzieren wollen. ⏱️ Agenda: (00:03:22) Halluzinationen im Reporting? Schwächen von CSRD Chat GPT. (00:07:51) Wo Gen AI das Nachhaltigkeits-Reporting beschleunigt. (00:15:41) Werden Sustainability Consultants überflüssig? (00:25:42) ESG-Software - Einblick in eine neue Marktstudie. (00:31:55) Die ESG-Datenstrategie ist wichtiger ist als die Sustainability-Software. (00:36:31) Punktuelle Spezial-Software oder doch große ESG-Datenplattform? (00:41:28) Scope 3 Daten - Branchenstandards und Datenaustausch sind wichtig. (00:47:49) Geld versenken mit Sustainability Software? Vermeide Folgendes. (00:57:23) Die CSDDD - darum profitieren deutsche Unternehmen von ihr. Über Dilara Can: Dilara ist Sustainability Consultant bei Bosch Climate Solutions. BCS berät kleine und große Unternehmen beim Aufbau interner ESG-Kompetenz und dem Entwickeln einer soliden Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie.

John Sheppard is a Sustainability Consultant and Technical director of Wren Sustainable Limited. He believes that government initiatives to help households become more sustainable are “a joke” and he tells us why on Agenda. While government has legislation requiring it to deliver on carbon reduction targets, it seems that legislation is limited on requiring government agencies to help people reduce their energy needs. It certainly makes financial sense for us all to better insulate our homes and reduce energy bills so why aren't more of us doing this? Is there real substance behind the government green wash?

An diesen drei Themen kommen Unternehmen aktuell nicht vorbei, wenn sie in kurzer Zeit ein sauberes CSRD-Reporting aufsetzen und gleichzeitig ihre Emissionen reduzieren wollen: Generative KI, die Wahl der richtigen ESG-Software und eine gute Sustainability-Datenstrategie als Grundlage. Stephan und Dilara, meine zwei Gäste in dieser Folge, diskutieren mit mir leidenschaftlich den Status quo zu diesen drei essenziellen Themen für Nachhaltigkeitsverantwortliche. Das Fazit: Generative KI verändert jetzt bereits die Arbeit von Nachhaltigkeitsmanagern. Vor allem als Helfer, um Wissenslücken schnell zu schließen. Das Thema entwickelt sich rasend, kommt aber auch mit gefährlichen Fallstricken daher. Viel wichtiger ist daher die Frage, wie man eine gute Nachhaltigkeitsdatenstrategie aufbaut und welche der vielen ESG-Software Lösungen die richtige für das Unternehmen ist. Und hier beginnt das große Kopfzerbrechen für die Verantwortlichen. Denn Stephan hat eine brandneue Studie im Gepäck, die zeigt, dass der Markt der ESG Tools starkt zersplittert und unglaublich vielfältig ist. Aber keine Angst - diese Folge liefert Dir in allen drei Themen Antworten: ✅ Was kann generative KI in Bezug auf Dein Nachhaltigkeits-Reporting und was nicht? ✅ Welche ESG-Software Anbieter setzen sich im Markt gerade durch? ✅ Warum brauchst Du interne Kompetenzen und eine gute ESG-Datenstrategie, bevor Du eine passende Software-Lösung aussuchst? Diese Podcast-Folge ist ideal für Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, CIOs, CTOs und alle anderen Menschen an der Schnittstelle von IT und Nachhaltigkeit. Der perfekte Guide zu einem Grundlagenthema für alle, die ihr Unternehmen nicht nur auf den Weg zu sauberem CSRD-Reporting bringen wollen, sondern vor allem erfolgreiche CO₂ Emissionen und Umwelteinwirkungen reduzieren wollen. ⏱️ Agenda: (00:03:22) Halluzinationen im Reporting? Schwächen von CSRD Chat GPT. (00:07:51) Wo Gen AI das Nachhaltigkeits-Reporting beschleunigt. (00:15:41) Werden Sustainability Consultants überflüssig? (00:25:42) ESG-Software - Einblick in eine neue Marktstudie. (00:31:55) Die ESG-Datenstrategie ist wichtiger ist als die Sustainability-Software. (00:36:31) Punktuelle Spezial-Software oder doch große ESG-Datenplattform? (00:41:28) Scope 3 Daten - Branchenstandards und Datenaustausch sind wichtig. (00:47:49) Geld versenken mit Sustainability Software? Vermeide Folgendes. (00:57:23) Die CSDDD - darum profitieren deutsche Unternehmen von ihr. Über Dilara Can: Dilara ist Sustainability Consultant bei Bosch Climate Solutions. BCS berät kleine und große Unternehmen beim Aufbau interner ESG-Kompetenz und dem Entwickeln einer soliden Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie.

Today Tiffany's chatting with our first EVER guest, Rebecca Schwartz Altholz. Rebecca studied Sustainability Management at Columbia University and now devotes the majority of her time to environmental sustainability education as well as Sustainability Consulting. She's passionate about shifting the mindset around the expectation of perfection that we hold ourselves, others and especially brands to as we're all finding our way on this sustainability journey. So..what can we REALLY expect from brands? As a brand, how can we best approach the way we talk about sustainability? What does the word "sustainable" even mean and should we still use it??! We still don't have all the answers either, and that's okay. This one's for creators and consumers alike.

Today we talk about real estate in the cannabis industry with Bryan McLaren of Zoned Properties. Real estate is a weird topic these days in the housing market but we talk commercial real estate for cannabis. We discuss why this aspect is important in the grand scheme as we move toward federal legalization and sensible regulations. We've got about 10 years of history under our belt to look at as far as how the cannabis industry has experienced commercial real estate services. Knowing that we are highly regulated, there are very specific rules so it's not as easy as just buying a building. We dive into if it has gotten any easier or more straightforward over the years. Currently, we have 37 states with some form of medical cannabis, and 18 with adult use, and every year it seems, we see those numbers increase as we head toward federal legalization. We talk about if there's a difference in real estate needs and processes when it comes to medical versus adult use.Bryan McLaren is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties, a leading real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries, including legalized cannabis. Bryan has a strong professional background in the social, economic, and environmental development of complex business organizations. Over his professional career, he has successfully implemented large-scale projects for corporate and community organizations. Prior to his role at Zoned Properties, McLaren worked as a Sustainability Consultant for Waste Management where he led the strategic development and operational implementation of zero-waste programs for Higher Education clients. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Divers Alert Network (DAN) Sustainable EV Tour 2022 will arrive in Ireland next week, promoting electric vehicles and sustainability to help combat ocean acidification. The team aim to meet as many people as possible to explore ways in which they can help towards solving the global acidification threat, which damages marine life. Their next stop is Ireland, where DAN sustainability reps Alana Alvarez and Manu Bustelo will continue their tour – carbon-neutrally – in a 100% electric Hyundai Kona SUV, visiting Galway, Cork and Dublin. They will be holding events at the Dive Academy in The Aran Islands, Oceanaddicts in Kinsale, Oceans of Discovery Dive Center in Robert's Cove, Cork and OCEANDIVERS in Bray. Sustainable EV Tour to raise awareness of ocean acidification Electric vehicle infrastructure is crucial to supporting the health of our oceans Alana Alvarez and Manuel Bustelo (DAN Europe Ambassadors) alongside the DAN team, are travelling across the country using an electric vehicle (Hyundai), educating people in schools, diving and swimming clubs on making the activity safer, more accessible, and sustainable. The DAN team is only using IONITY's high-power charging stations on the UK tour because the chargers exclusively use electricity that is generated from renewable sources of energy. IONITY enables electric travel for everyone in Europe, helping to decarbonise the transport and mobility sector that is responsible for a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Decarbonisation needs electrification and electrification needs infrastructure. That's why IONITY is building a pan-European high-power charging network which is open to electric vehicles of all brands. “We want to do more than just provide 100% renewable electricity at our charging stations. That is why we support initiatives such as DAN Europe and their Sustainable Tour in educating the public, so everyone can take the right steps and make a positive contribution to a healthier planet. Travelling to and from mainland Europe emissions-free and carbon-neutral is absolutely possible with IONITY, with 1,841 high-power chargers providing only and exclusively electricity that is generated from renewable sources of energy.” – Andreas Atkins, Country Manager UK & Ireland, IONITY “We are grateful to have such an engaged partner in IONITY, that is passionate about driving the change with us and contributing to a sustainable development of our oceans.” – Manuel Bustelo, Sustainability Consultant, DAN Europe Find out more about the DAN Sustainable UK Tour:/ About DAN Europe Founded in 1983, DAN Europe is an international non-profit medical and research organisation dedicated to the health and safety of divers.

Chetana Parmar, Advanced Yoga & Meditation Teacher, has over 20 years of experience in sustainability and environmental issues and also offers guided meditation sessions to organizations. Chetana is a Meditation Instructor, Climate Activist, and Sustainability Consultant. In this week's episode, she talks about some of the benefits of taking a pause throughout your day and how you can instill good meditation practices in your teens.    Key Takeaways What are some of the benefits of meditation?  It's all about taking small moments out of your day to be conscious of your wellbeing and your space. You can start by taking small breaths at the stop light!  What do the impacts of focusing on your breath have on the brain?   Wouldn't it be great if teachers took a moment to help students breath and help them reset for the next day?  How do you get started on a meditation practice? Do you need a teacher?  A good gentle reminder is to try to take a deep breath in every time you walk through a doorway.  Tim Ferris, a well-known entrepreneur, found that 80%+ of his podcast interviewees all had a mindfulness practice.  Teens model what their parents do. If you have a good practice, they'll follow suit.  You don't need to dedicate massive amounts of time to this. If you have a hectic day, find 2 seconds to take a breath in and a breath out.  Sponsored by Youth Leadership Lessons: https://varsityleadership.com/   Resources: www.chetana.co.uk Chetana on LinkedIn Exeterpoweryoga.com https://insighttimer.com/yoga_chetana Instagram: @yoga_chetana   Quotes:   “Notice your breath. How does it feel when you take a deep breath in?”    “Throughout the day, just focus on your breath 2-3 times.”    “You can meditate anywhere. Just notice your breath. There are so many ways you can bring your presentness into being.”
