The good, the bad, and the ugly of recycling
INTRODUCTION
Most of the time, people think their packaging will be recycled... What if it was not the case? What if it was more like the Wild West? Or should I say, the «wild waste»?
With Lise and Enzo from M. & Mme Recyclage we explored the shadowy world of waste management. And you will hear, you won’t be outdone! They have so much to share! And they do it with a lot of passion and meaningful examples settled in context.
Be ready
- to learn about the collection, sorting, and recycling challenges you are part of.
- and to understand why it is paramount to focus on competitors' agreements, education, reusables, and the inside of packaging.
Of course, I encourage you to go through their free-of-access data, infographics, and videos. But, in the meantime, let’s meet Lise and Enzo!

ABOUT LISE NICOLAS AND ENZO MUTTINI FROM M. & MME RECYCLAGE
Lise and Enzo are both French engineers from the Polytech School of Paris-Saclay University.
They started their recycling careers at Miniwiz in Asia by building the Trashpresso, the first mobile and autonomous plastics recycling unit. While working in the same company, they also created an Opensource Material Database.
Nowadays, they lead an engineering office: M. & Mme Recyclage, which is specialized in materials impact and recycling issues. They are on a mission to vulgarize their knowledge and challenges related to this industry thanks to free-of-access data, infographics, and videos. Their activator and educative initiatives are largely recognized and followed. They have been recognized as National Geographic Green Heroes in 2019. Selected by the foundation pour la Nature et l’Homme in 2020 and awarded by Emballage Magazine in 2021. Last but not least, this year Lise has been selected for the European year of Youth.
They are also wearing other professional hats such as independent researchers, lecturers, as well as founders of Precious Plastic France.
PODCAST MUSIC
Special thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here.
I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.
