The reality of plastic use is something we can’t escape—it's embedded in almost everything we use on a daily basis. From packaging to clothing, electronics to beauty products, plastic is everywhere.

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.
