In this episode, we dive deep into the truth behind plastic waste—unpacking shocking facts, the real impact of recycling, and what businesses and individuals can do to drive change. We’ll also explore innovative solutions, from plastic alternatives to refillable beauty, and discuss how organizations like AORA and rePurpose Global are tackling this crisis.
