Similar to all our lives, COVID-019 has forced us to stop producing podcast episodes; however, in the meantime, we thought that we would share audio from a video of Diann discussing the definitions of antiseptics, antibacterials and other types of cleaning products that could be confusing you. We want to make sure that you have the knowledge to make the best choices for you and your community.

The audio quality is not our best but we thought this information was too important not to share.

Diann has also written a blog on this topic here or you can watch this video here. 

In this conversation, we learn how Ray started his business and his goal of recycling 10 million glass bottles. We also discuss how conscious capitalism and Refresh Glass's inherent sustainability impact Ray's business and business relationships.
