In this episode, which was recorded at Expo West, we hear from several sustainable brands about how they implement sustainable practices in their products and operations. Expo West is a  natural food & products industry conference, bringing together brands and attendees from around the country. Sustainability is crucial in the production of all kinds of products from matcha to soap to non-toxic cleaning products to clean beauty, and even toilet paper. This episode features interviews with Hannah Habes, founder of Matchaful, Nathalie Marin-Gest, Special Operations at Dr. Bronner’s,  Richard Kostick, founder & CEO at 100% Pure, Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, president & CEO of ECOS, and  Aaron Liou, from Who Gives a Crap.
