Guest: Laura Dobos of Boxifly

Fueled by a passion for sustainability and a mission to address the low recycling rates in the United States, Laura launched Boxifly in Austin, TX. Witnessing excessive waste from online shopping after becoming a parent and years of corporate business travel, she realized there were limited solutions for hard to recycle items. After immersing herself into research on recycling rates and limitations of single stream recycling, Laura realized she needed to act. As a mother of two, she is driven by the aspiration to create a greener and brighter future for her children. Her mission is to provide innovative and accessible recycling solutions that make a significant impact on the environment and encourage more effective recycling practices in the community.
