New York City has officially gone all-in on composting. As of this year, all residential buildings are required to separate food waste—and for the first time, fines are being issued for those who don’t. It’s a sweeping policy change that raises a fundamental question: how do you get millions of fast-moving New Yorkers to actually change their habits?

Catesby Perrin, Chief Business Officer at Mill, joins us to unpack the new rules and what they mean for residents, property owners, and the planet. Mill’s high-tech kitchen bin offers one innovative solution: it turns food scraps into reusable material, without the smell or mess.

We break down why composting matters, how the system works in NYC, and whether tools like Mill can help residents comply with the law—while also making a real dent in climate impact and waste.
