Sammy Davies, Director of Sustainability & Brand at EcoSafe Zero Waste, is a regenerative leader who bridges the gap between high-level brand strategy and deep ecological advocacy. With over a decade of experience in cleantech, she brings a "systems change" mindset to the heart of the circular economy.What if the secret to fixing our broken industrial systems isn't found in a boardroom, but in the ancient wisdom of the earth? We explore how a background in herbalism and ancestral medicine can fundamentally reshape our approach to environmental leadership and personal connection.Modern waste management is full of promises, but how much of it is actually working? We take a closer look at the innovative tools driving real diversion and the specific household items that are quietly revolutionizing how we handle our daily footprint.The journey toward zero waste is rarely a straight line. We dive into the uncomfortable truths regarding the "green" products we rely on and why true transformation requires us to fall in love with the very systems we often overlook.Join host Ved Krishna as he learns from inspiring guests and experts in the industry of sustainable packaging about ways to leave the planet cleaner and answer what is #GoodGarbage?

In this episode of Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors, Cory sits down with Mikey Pasciuto to explore SCRAPP's evolution from a recycling app to a comprehensive zero-waste platform. Mikey shares insights on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), operational waste costs, and why businesses should design for efficiency rather than just policy. They dive into real-world examples, challenges in recycling infrastructure, and how SCRAPP helps brands navigate complex waste streams and regulations.Key Topics Discussed:SCRAPP's journey: from barcode-scanning recycling app to full-service waste accounting platformThe role of data in predicting and reducing waste generationExtended Producer Responsibility (EPR): what it means for brands and why it mattersOperational costs of waste management and strategies to reduce themReal-world case studies: balancing packaging design, food waste reduction, and EPR feesWhy designing for operations beats designing for policyThe importance of recycled content mandates and eco-modulationChallenges in recycling markets, infrastructure funding, and material economicsStandardization of recycling rules vs. local market realitiesUniversal landfill bans and their impact on creating new recycling marketsResources Mentioned:SCRAPP Zero Waste PlatformOregon Recycling Modernization ActCarton Council recycling grantsToyota Kanban and Six Sigma principles (applied to packaging logistics)Contact:To learn more or connect with Mikey:Website: www.scrappzero.comLinkedIn: Mikey PasciutoClosing Thoughts:Mikey emphasizes that EPR fees should be viewed as part of doing business, not as a barrier to sustainability. By focusing on operational efficiency and informed packaging decisions, companies can reduce costs, minimize waste, and support a circular economy. Cory and Mikey agree: the future of packaging lies in balancing performance, recyclability, and system-wide thinking.Thank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

In dieser Folge von „Gelassen älter werden“ wird Nachhaltigkeit ganz nah an unserem Alltag entlang erzählt: Catharina spricht zusammen mit Bertram und der Zero-Waste-Expertin Aline Pronnet darüber, wie wir mit kleinen, machbaren Schritten Verantwortung für unsere Welt – und für die kommenden Generationen – übernehmen können.Aline nimmt uns mit in ihre persönliche Geschichte: vom plastikfreien Selbstversuch als Schülerin bis hin zu ihrem heutigen Zero-Waste-Lebensstil, der vor allem eins ist – pragmatisch, humorvoll und alltagstauglich statt dogmatisch und moralkeulig.Gemeinsam schauen die drei darauf,wie aus „Müll wegbringen ist lästig“ ein Weg echter Selbstwirksamkeit werden kannwarum der erste Schritt oft so simpel ist wie: „Kauf den Kram einfach nicht“wie Coffee-to-stay nicht nur Becher, sondern auch Nerven und Lebenszeit schontweshalb Babyboomer sich zwischen schlechtem Gewissen und großer politischer Verantwortung wiederfindenwie aus Generationenkonflikten echte Dialogräume, Mentoring-Beziehungen und gemeinsames Lernen entstehenCatharina und Aline erzählen offen von ihren ambivalenten Gefühlen als werdende Mütter in einer krisenhaften Zeit – zwischen Klimasorgen, finanziellen Fragen und einem tiefen Urvertrauen, dass es sich trotzdem lohnt, Kinder in diese Welt zu setzen. Bertram teilt, wie Minimalismus, Reduktion und die Rolle als möglicher Großvater für ihn zu einer sehr persönlichen Form von Nachhaltigkeit geworden sind.Zum Schluss geht es um Gelassenheit: Was trägt uns, wenn Zukunft unübersichtlich ist? Aline spricht von Intuition, Vertrauen in den eigenen Körper und der Gewissheit: „Es wird schon passen.“Zitat: „Weniger Ego, mehr Dialog – das braucht es auf allen Ebenen, politisch wie privat.“ – Aline Pronnet ➡️ Mehr zu Aline Pronnet: alinepronnet.de (alinepronnet.de)Wir freuen uns auf eure Nachrichten über WhatsApp an 01752600238 und Mails an info@gelassen-aelter-werden.de – und wenn ihr euren Liebsten von uns erzählt.Und eine Bitte an alle:Wir freuen uns über eine Bewertung unseres Podcasts.

Πόσο εύκολο είναι για μια επιχείρηση καφεστίασης ή φιλοξενίας να μειώσει τα απορρίμματά της χωρίς να επιβαρύνει τον ήδη απαιτητικό καθημερινό της ρυθμό; Μπορεί η εξοικονόμηση νερού και ενέργειας να μεταφραστεί σε πραγματικό οικονομικό όφελος; Και, τελικά, είναι εφικτό ένας ολόκληρος κλάδος να αλλάξει νοοτροπία και να στραφεί στη βιωσιμότητα, χωρίς να νιώσει ότι «θυσιάζει» κάτι από τη λειτουργία του; O διευθυντής σύνταξης της LiFO, Γιάννης Πανταζόπουλος συζητά με τον πρόεδρο της Οικολογικής Εταιρείας Ανακύκλωσης, Φίλιππο Κυρκίτσο για το Zero Waste HORECA, ένα πρόγραμμα που εδώ και χρόνια στηρίζει ουσιαστικά τις επιχειρήσεις του χώρου, προσφέροντάς τους γνώση, εργαλεία και κατεύθυνση.

Cities worldwide are drowning in trash. Landfills are full, oceans are clogged with plastic. Many are trying to change, but one effort stands apart in its sheer scale and ambition: China's nationwide push to build“zero-waste cities.”The goal is a system where everything is reused, repurposed, or recovered.

I made a rich, zero-waste mushroom soup by dry-searing slices of one of three King Oyster Mushrooms. I sweat onions in a knob of algae butter a friend brought me from France with the thought that it would add to the earthyness of the soup and Yes Sirree indeed it did! Then I crumbled a vegetable bouillon cube into processed mushrooms and onions, about two Tspoons of flour, white wine, tamari, and Worcestershire sauce and stirred gently occassionally over a medium flame. Small touches like a milk and flour slurry, a spoon of creme fraîche, and a splash of Marsala and sherry rum pepper sauce flavored the silky body soup in a very delectable comforting flavor without any heaviness.Please find the steps I used in a list format: • dry sear for roasted mushroom flavor• onion gently sweated in butter for sweetness• vegetable bouillon and wine for depth• tamari, Worcestershire, paprika for umami and warmth• optional milk slurry for light body• creme fraîche for tang and gloss• sherry pepper or marsala for a nutty lift• roasted mushroom garnish for texture• zero food packaging waste as a core value• toast from rescued bread as a thrifty pairingI hope you'll be so inclined to give the episode a thumbs up, share it with friends, because we've gotta be disruptors.MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle
We recently interviewed Ross from Smootheeze, diving deep into the challenges and triumphs of scaling a sustainable, premium kitchen brand. This conversation reveals the brilliant product strategies and marketing tactics behind the viral smoothie prep system. Ross articulated that the most frequent and frustrating daily barrier for users is the often-messy, time-consuming morning prep itself, beyond just the frozen banana clump. Smootheeze solves this "next" by providing effortless pop-out convenience that removes the friction entirely, making a consistent, healthy morning smoothie routine achievable. The discussion highlights the brand's commitment to its zero-waste, anti-consumption ethos. Ross explained that Lifetime Value (LTV) is sustained not through repeated product purchases, but by building a powerful user-generated recipe ecosystem (UGC). This content strategy keeps the community engaged and locks them into the brand by fostering creative, endless usage. To mitigate the known issue of silicone odor and turmeric stains, Smootheeze focuses heavily on educational contentand specific cleaning protocols to protect the long-term functionality and aesthetic of the trays. Finally, Ross provided strategic insight on the Freezer Real Estate Battle, emphasizing the trays' stackable, space-saving design against bulky frozen meals. Regarding Channel Expansion, the long-term strategy involves leveraging the brand's Kickstarter success to strategically test limited retail expansion while doubling down on DTC/Amazon to maintain critical control over the brand story and community connection. Web: https://www.smootheeze.co/ About: Looking for the best way to store fresh smoothie ingredients?

Was passiert, wenn Nachhaltigkeit auf echten Genuss trifft? In dieser Folge von Food Fak(t) spreche ich mit Sophia Hoffmann – Köchin, Autorin, Aktivistin und Gründerin des Restaurants HAPPA in Berlin. Dort lebt sie, was sie predigt: eine kompromisslos nachhaltige Küche, in der alles verwertet wird, was Geschmack und Sinn ergibt. Wir reden über Zero-Waste-Kochen im Alltag, pflanzenbasierte Gastronomie, kreative Rezeptentwicklung und darüber, wie Technologie und Haltung die Küche von morgen verändern. Sophia erzählt, wie sie mit ihrem Team im HAPPA täglich neue Wege findet, Lebensmittelabfälle zu vermeiden – von Tomatenschalen-Pulver bis Blumenkohlblättern – und warum dabei nicht Moral, sondern Freude am Kochen im Mittelpunkt steht. Außerdem sprechen wir über ihre Masterclass Zero Waste, neue pflanzenbasierte Trends und darüber, warum nachhaltiges Kochen nicht Verzicht bedeutet, sondern ein Kulturwandel ist. Ein Gespräch über Mut, Geschmack – und die Kunst, Verantwortung köstlich zu machen. *** Instagram *** Folgt Food Fak(t) auch auf Instagram @foodfakt_podcast und bleibt auf dem Laufenden!

On today's show, we're chatting with Janelle Abbott, the artist and designer behind JRAT. Raised in her parents' Seattle clothing factory, Janelle grew up with an early respect for the labor that goes into making clothing. After graduating from Parsons, she rejected corporate fashion, choosing a radically sustainable, zero-waste path. Through her brand JRAT, she transforms discarded and found materials into one-of a-kind garments – her work merges activism, art, and performance—as she exposes fast fashion's farce through garment reclamation, reminding us that all garments are human artifacts. In this conversation, we're diving into Janelle's journey from growing up surrounded by sewing machines to her own craft in zero-waste design. We'll talk about how her design education shaped her view of the fashion industry, her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles, and what it really means to practice zero-waste pattern making. Plus, Janelle shares stories about her favorite finds, and why she wants people to be in love with clothes that already exist. Plus so much more. Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [2:06] Janelle loved fashion from a young age, growing up in her parents' Seattle clothing factory. [8:14] How thrifting with her mom at St. Vincent de Paul became their bonding time [10:08] Learning to sew at age seven and the freedom to experiment with reworking clothes [12:31] Why she decided to pursue fashion at Parsons despite knowing firsthand how hard the industry is [18:34] Learning zero-waste pattern drafting [24:04] Taking a seven-year detour to avoid monetizing her creative work [28:15] Her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles [33:23] Her special upcycling techniques [39:45] JRAT's latest NYFW show, Pretty Ugly Princess, inspired by the 1990s board game [53:09] Personal style, and the pieces that make it into her own closet.

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.

More on the Zero Waste Network is here and worth signing up for their newsletter https://zerowaste.co.nz Panelists: Sue Coutts, Moderator from Zero Waste Network Steven Moe, Parry Field Lawyers Limited Dr Saeid Baroutian, University of Auckland James Griffin, Sustainable Business Network Description of the session: Panel Discussion: Tools for Transformation - System Change for a Zero Waste Future Achieving zero waste requires more than good intentions—it demands deep systems change. In this panel, leaders from business, legal, academic, and innovation spheres come together to explore how their sectors can enable, accelerate, or obstruct a zero waste future. How can business models shift from extraction to regeneration? What legal tools and policies are needed to drive accountability and equity? Where is research shining new light—or holding old assumptions in place? And how can innovation challenge the status quo without reinforcing it?

The beauty of this dish lies not only in its simplicity but in its sustainability credentials – ingredients you can source locally from farm stands and virtually zero food packaging waste and Please find a step by step recipe that should help but I should also hope you'll make the dish along while listening or that you'll give a listen when you're inspired to make this Delicious, comforting, economical and mindful meal. WHAT TO DO: • GRATE Farm-fresh ZUCCHINI on the large side of a box grater then add to a pan over a medium heat you've coated with a thin layer of olive oil. • Add SLICE or press at least 2 good sized garlic cloves to the sautéing grated zucchini. • I added a roughly chopped leftover oyster mushrooms I had from my imperfect food delivery. • Bring a good amount of water to a rolling boil then add a significant amount of salt. Angel hair pasta cooks in just 3 minutes so you want to add this once your sautéed zucchini comes together. • Now you're going to prepare the CARBONARA SAUCE: Separate one egg. Retain the yolk as this is what you're going to work with. Whisk gently, a splash of olive oil, the juice of a lemon wedge and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly. Then slowly pour in some of the pasta cooking water. I used about a 1/4 of a cup. SOME TIPS:• Use starchy pasta water to help bind the sauce• The lemon juice definitely brightens the dish perfectly• The hole in a pasta fork measures exactly one serving size• Takes less than 20 minutes to prepare from start to finish• Finish with freshly ground pepper and good olive oil • Creating sustainable, zero-waste meals is a form of everyday activismJoin me in becoming a disruptor through sustainable cooking and mindful meals.

In this episode, Hilary Duff and Daniel Moore speak with Dutch-born, Australian-based designer, artist, and environmental activist Joost Bakker about his pioneering work in sustainability, zero waste design, and the circular economy. While not a registered architect, Joost is known for groundbreaking projects such as Greenhouse by Joost, Silo, and the Future Food System at Melbourne's Fed Square, Joost shares how his upbringing in the Netherlands and later life in Australia shaped his philosophy of designing self-sufficient ecosystems that produce their own energy, water, and food. Joost discusses why “waste” is a recent human-made phenomenon, exploring how industrialisation disrupted the closed-loop systems humans shared with nature for millennia. He reflects on his commitment to using unconventional materials, like cork, hemp, and magnesium-oxide boards, and the criteria he applies to ensure every material choice aligns with circular economy principles. The conversation also delves into the challenges and breakthroughs of delivering his zero-waste projects, from navigating regulatory barriers to working with unlikely partners to raise industry standards. Looking ahead, Joost shares his optimism for a future where circular design becomes mainstream, powered by the demands of younger generations for meaningful climate action. He offers advice for emerging architects and designers on integrating sustainability into their practice and reflects on his own collaborative approach, bringing together experts, manufacturers, growers, and chefs to reimagine the built environment. This is an inspiring deep dive into a career built on the belief that beauty, innovation, and environmental responsibility can, and must, coexist.

“To be an effective climate optimist and person who cares about sustainability, you need equal parts of two different ingredients. The first is inspiration, because if you don't believe you can make a difference, and if you don't believe that what you do matters, then you're not going to try. You also need the other ingredient of empowerment. If you are really, really encouraged to try to make a difference, but you're not given the tools or the knowledge, then all that energy dissipates and becomes wasted.” —Charlie Sellars What if sustainability wasn't a burden, but an invitation? For too long, we've been told to shrink our impact and feel guilty for not doing enough. But what if the real power lies in small, positive choices that actually feel good and make a difference? Charlie Sellars, the Director of Sustainability at Microsoft and author of What We Can Do: A Climate Optimist's Guide to Sustainable Living, has spent his career turning eco-anxiety into practical, empowering action. His journey proves that you don't need to be perfect—or even an expert—to make sustainability work for your life, your business, and your happiness. Tune in as Justine and Charlie break down how to reframe sustainability from a source of stress into a source of strength, sharing real-life stories, actionable tips, and a new way to think about your impact—one that's positive, empowering, and actually doable. Meet Charlie: Charlie Sellars is a Director of Sustainability at Microsoft, which pledged to become Carbon Negative, Water Positive, Zero Waste, and Protect Ecosystems by 2030. As one of the youngest directors at the company, he has overseen sustainability for both the Windows & Devices and Cloud Operations portions of Microsoft, helping launch several sustainability-forward products ranging from new Windows PCs with repairable and recycled components to the Ocean Plastic Mouse.

Upstream's Sydney Harris is joined by the US Plastics Pact's Olivia Merritt Fitzgerald and Sustainable Packaging Coalition's Olga Kachook to discuss the growing drive for reuse among consumer brands. They share the details of two recent reports that map a path for bringing reuse to the retail setting and which product lines are best poised for the switch—plus the USPP's initiative to turn these findings into action. The key to success? Standardization and pre-competitive collaboration—both of which, our guests are happy to report, are in the works.Resources: Sustainable Packaging Coalition: Framework for Scaling ReuseClosed Loop Partners & US Plastics Pact: Getting Ready for Reuse in RetailUSPP Retail Reuse Initiative one-pagerListeners interested in participating in the US Plastic Pact's retail reuse initiative should contact Olivia Merritt Fitzgerald: OMFitzGerald@usplasticspact.org Listeners interested in exploring refill models should contact Olga Kachook: olga.kachook@greenblue.org Upstream: Embracing Reuse in U.S. Packaging EPR ProgramsPR3 StandardsEpisode 88: Setting the Standard for Reuse with PR3Episode 180: The Quest for a Universal Reuse SymbolGet 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!
