Good Garbage with Ved Krishna

As a child, Reyna Bryan saw overflowing trash cans on the street and wondered why we were wasting so much material on such short-lived packaging. Today she has completed a groundbreaking, 9-month, inter-industry collaboration to bring the best minds in the materials value-chain together. Over the last year, they dug deep and unearthed ideas that will lead to a more sustainable future through smart Consumer Packaged Goods design, engineering, production, distribution, consumption, AND disposal. Check out her white paper (link in the show notes) summarizing the Redefining Flexible Films workshop hosted by her company, RCD Packaging Innovations, and learn more about what can be accomplished when industry leaders become teammates rather than competitors.
