Good Garbage with Ved Krishna

Shaun Miller is the Senior Director of Operations and Sustainability for Envita Solutions. Envita is a fourth generation family owned business that helps companies build a strategy around waste.

In North America today Envita Solutions has approximately 4,000 customer facilities. Of those customer facilities, 60% of the 1.5 million tons of waste they manage goes to landfill diversions or other recycling means.

Shaun talks about this and more - we are super impressed by how customer centric they are, and hope you will learn as much as we did from this conversation.

Good Garbage Episode 59

Presented by Pakka

Cellulotech CEO Romain Metivet met Ved at a Hack Food Summit - where an unexpected conversation around packaging started - and a year later - has continued on the Good Garbage podcast.

Learn about Romain's journey to Cellulotech - and why the work they're doing has us excited.

​​Cellulotech is a leading material science company dedicated to unlocking the full potential of cellulose in order to replace billions of tonnes of unsustainable and harmful materials.

Their process treats cellulose-based materials and provides them with barriers to external elements (water, oil, oxygen and vapor) while preserving their repulpability, compostability and biodegradability properties. It can competitively replace plastic linings, waxes or harmful chemicals such as PFAS.

Hello, hello! The moment you hear Sian Sutherland, Plastic Planet & PlasticFree.com CEO start speaking - you know change is coming. Change of the acceptance of the world we live in - where plastic is everywhere, and so many have accepted pollution, or a solution of recycling.

Sian says it like it is - recycling is a myth. It cannot be our answer. If you want to feel motivated to make change - and to make it in the right direction, listen to this episode of Good Garbage.

Hello, hello! Joining us on Good Garbage this week - we have the CEO & CRO of WinCup, Brad Laporte and Michael Winters. We knew we had to have them on the show when we saw their product, Phade straws. Made from PHA and inspired from the infamous straw in a turtle’s nose video - we were inspired by their brand. But as the conversation went on, we learned so much more.
