Description

The global plastic crisis has blown out of proportion and Transfoam is here to show us a way out! 


CEO and Co-Founder, Alec Brewer, is here to share with us the story behind Transfoam and their mission to connect the beginning and end of the plastic lifecycle. 


With over 50% of plastic coming from single-use purposes, Transfoam aims to give these single-use items a second life before it fully biodegrades back into the earth. 


Now's the time to normalize waste segregation! Waste isn't waste until we waste it.


Tune in to know more about the plastic industry and our thoughts on unlearning our usual throw away culture through valuing waste.
