There’s so much that we talked about in this interview, including:

• What LDPE is used for and why
• How plastic actually helps lower the carbon footprint in import and export
• The importance of educating ourselves about making better choices
• How EcoGlobal takes one-use plastics to create a new material - Ekopolimer - that lasts for years
• Why it’s key to design a long-term business plan that’s carbon centric
• The need to educate people on how recycled products can be better than virgin products
• Why the waste management industry is like the wild, wild west
