For the inaugural episode of Waste to Value, I connected with Lew Epstein, CEO of Lot21, a non-profit content platform and resource for advancing climate action across the built environment to help decarbonize the world.

Lew’s environmental advocacy began decades ago with the emergence of the forestry stewardship movement and has since expanded to encompass a broader range of carbon removal solutions focused on restoring our climate.

Our conversation delves into the topics of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and waste-to-value solutions, highlighting the evolution of these areas and their impact on climate action and sustainability. It explores the challenges, advancements, and applications of CDR, as well as the local and global impact of waste-to-value initiatives.
