In this conversation, Sonia Houria Rivas speaks with Veronica Robin, founder of The Loop Kitchen, about building a sustainable meal delivery service rooted in reuse, community, and conscious choice. They explore the environmental and health impacts of plastic, why reducing waste starts with everyday decisions, and how food systems shape both wellbeing and connection.
Veronica shares her personal journey toward sustainable living, the two-year process behind launching The Loop Kitchen, and the challenges of building a mission-driven business while navigating uncertainty and self-doubt. Together, they discuss practical ways to reduce food waste, the importance of flexibility and rest, and how small, consistent changes - made with awareness rather than perfection - can create meaningful impact over time.
