For the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, Episode 16 is all about digital waste! Digital waste has grown exponentially over the last decade as the storage of data, like e-mails, pictures, audio and video files have shifted to “the cloud". Guess what…the cloud is a physical place! Each day we generate more and more data and your digital footprint requires huge amounts of server space and energy. A part of any digital footprint may be described as digital waste. We explore this concept, what it is, where it happens in supply chain and technology decisions, and how you can help. 

Just think about all the data that you have created online that you no longer use. Almost everything we do online increases our carbon footprint. We share some fun facts about everyday scenarios that bring awareness to your digital carbon footprint and most importantly, easy tips you can use to live waste-free (or make a step in the right direction).

Exploring Digital Waste in Technology and Supply Chains, the Cloud, Why Digital Waste is Dirty and the Environmental Impacts It Has in the World We Share

Supply Chain Revolution®: Sustainability • Innovation • Technology

Where sustainability meets innovation — real leaders, real strategies, real transformation.

At the intersection of people, planet, and technology, Supply Chain Revolution® reveals how the world’s top innovators are transforming sustainability, AI, and supply chain strategy into advantage.

Welcome to Supply Chain Revolution®, the global podcast redefining how we think about sustainability, technology, and transformation. Hosted by Sheri Hinish, known worldwide as the Supply Chain Queen®, this show explores what it takes to build resilient, regenerative businesses at the intersection of people, planet, and technology.

Every episode challenges the status quo — unpacking how innovation, AI, and systems thinking are rewriting the rules of enterprise transformation.

You’ll hear from executive leaders, technologists, scientists, policymakers, and changemakers driving sustainable growth and digital reinvention. Past guests include pioneers from Microsoft, SAP, IBM, Starbucks, Unilever, MIT, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and the world’s most exciting climate-tech startups.

These are the conversations you won’t find in boardrooms or press releases. We go beyond buzzwords to reveal what actually works — and how bold thinkers are making sustainability profitable, scalable, and human.

Listen to learn:

 • How to reduce Scope 3 emissions without breaking budgets

 • How AI and automation deliver returns in under six months

 • Circular-economy models that create new revenue streams

 • Digital-manufacturing strategies that eliminate inventory waste

 • Carbon-data innovations turning compliance into competitive advantage

 • Leadership mindsets redefining value creation for a regenerative economy

Our “10 Big Ideas” series breaks down the breakthroughs reshaping industries — from sustainable finance and digital MRV to supply-chain decarbonization, regenerative agriculture, and AI-powered transparency. Each episode distills complex systems into actionable playbooks that separate market leaders from those still catching up.

No fluff. No theory. Just truth, transformation, and practical insight from people who’ve built real change at global scale.

Whether you’re a CEO, sustainability officer, technologist, policymaker, or student passionate about systems change, Supply Chain Revolution® is your backstage pass to the ideas and people redefining the future of business.

New episodes monthly. Your competition is already listening — and learning.
