Good Garbage Episode 31

Presented by Pakka

Hello, hello! Dinesh Tadepalli has accomplished so much - he's been on Shark Tank, had a long conversation with Mark Cuban, sold his home, won awards, all while not taking a single dime from his company until they sell 100 million spoons. Dinesh is the CEO of Incredible Eats, an edible cutlery company.

After eating ice cream with his daughter one day, Dinesh was motivated to help with our plastic problem. Using a spoon for a short time only to throw it away didn't sit right with him, especially while thinking about his daughter's future. You'll hear about all this and more on this - the latest episode of Good Garbage!

Presented by Pakka

Hello, hello! The CEO of TerraCycle Tom Szaky joins the show this week - and he presented Ved with a different perspective on Good Garbage. Tom has built TerraCycle from when he was just a college student at Princeton, to the recycling giant it has become today. They recycle everything, from cigarettes to razors.

This conversation was fantastic, and covered all the topics from composting to recycling, and the fundamental differences that the two have as they come together for the same goal. There is even a part of the episode where Tom asks Ved how much he would pay for a bag of poop. Enjoy!

Her company WATS (Waste Administration + Tracking Software) presents solutions to huge waste issues. We hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation.
