    Earth911 Podcast: Accelerating Adoption of Low-Carbon Concrete with Eco Material Technologies' Grant Quasha
    2025/03/31
    As trade dynamics shift and tariffs reshape supply chains, construction companies must rethink how they source materials, balance costs, and integrate sustainable solutions. The push for greener, more resilient construction materials is at the heart of this transformation. Grant Quasha, CEO of Eco Material Technologies, returns to the show to share an update. Since his last appearance in October 2023, the company has made significant strides—including securing an $800 million Green Term Loan Facility, which will significantly accelerate the development and adoption of low-carbon cement alternatives. With goals to double production to 20 million tons per year, Grant and his team are working to redefine how we build the world around us.

    Hear what sustainable business sounds like when a green product makes its case on economic terms. Adopting green materials becomes a no-brainer decision when they are cheaper and better (because pozzolanic concrete lasts longer) and deliver the sustainability consumers want. Grant explains the potential for using low-carbon concrete to build low-income housing, for which Americans are in severe need due to a shortage of 7.1 million affordable housing units. Providing climate-resilient housing is a potentially vast opportunity to drive the rapid adoption of low-carbon concrete. Concrete printing systems can be rolled up to a home site and complete the production of a house in hours, saving labor time spent on framing a traditional home. If you’re considering starting a sustainable company, consider 3D concrete printed construction as a business. There are only 32 of these construction companies in the U.S. That may be the entrepreneurial opportunity of the decade. Imagine the demand for affordable, fast homes just in LA. So, business goes on, and sustainability is on the menu. You can learn more about Eco Material Technologies at ecomaterial.com.

  • Earth911 Podcast: Pursuing Sustainable Packaging with AE Global's Elizabeth Corbett

    Earth911 Podcast: Pursuing Sustainable Packaging with AE Global's Elizabeth Corbett
    2025/03/24
    Plastic and paper waste from product packaging remains an environmental crisis, with millions of tons of packaging ending up in landfills and the ocean every year. Despite growing consumer demand for sustainable alternatives, many companies still struggle to balance eco-responsible packaging with cost, performance, and branding needs. Discover the challenges and opportunities shaping sustainable packaging alternatives with Elizabeth Corbett, President of Enterprise Sales at AE Global, a leading packaging maker. Elizabeth helps brands in the cannabis, health & beauty, and consumer goods industries transition to packaging solutions that are both smarter and greener. With over 25 years of experience, she has developed growth strategies and designed sustainable packaging for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Estée Lauder, Starbucks’ Teavana, and Tiffany & Co. Elizabeth argues that businesses don’t have to choose between aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility—they can have it all.

    She also works closely with the Ocean Recovery Group, a pioneering initiative dedicated to collecting, cleaning, and recycling ocean-bound plastics to turn waste into valuable materials in an increasingly closed loop that can eventually eliminate plastic pollution. We’ll also discuss innovations in reusable, recyclable, and compostable packaging and how brands can achieve sustainability without sacrificing cost-effectiveness. Elizabeth suggests the best way to get sustainable packaging widely adopted is to establish rules that require post-consumer materials be used in new packaging. She points to New York’s post-consumer recycled paper bag requirements that changed design decisions for brands across the country. New York, California, Florida, or Texas, four big markets from which no national brand can afford to be absent, could transform the national packaging scene. Join the conversation for a discussion about extended producer responsibility, America's fragmented, fractured recycling infrastructure, and the benefits brands can enjoy when they lead the way toward green packaging.

  • Earth911 Podcast: Molecular Farming of Potato-Sourced Egg Proteins With PoLoPo's Maya Sapir-Mir

    Earth911 Podcast: Molecular Farming of Potato-Sourced Egg Proteins With PoLoPo's Maya Sapir-Mir
    2025/02/10
    Humanity is grappling with the effects of climate change, and one urgent challenge is ensuring a stable and sustainable supply of protein for human consumption and agricultural use. That's where molecular farming, an innovative technology that uses the power of plants to produce high-quality proteins, may present a unique solution. Tune into Sustainability In Your Ear for a conversation with Maya Sapir-Mir, co-founder and CEO of PoLoPo, to explore how molecular farming could transform food production, and make potato chips better for us.

    We’ll discuss the science behind PoLoPo's approach, the potential for reducing the environmental footprint of protein production, and what this means for the future of global food security. Genetic modification remains a subject of debate. While extensive studies confirm its safety for human consumption, concerns about its impact on biodiversity persist. Simply replacing one monoculture with another would not address biodiversity loss or solve global food production's more profound systemic challenges. One thing is sure: how we eat in the future will be different. Just as a meal today looks nothing like one from 1960, 1900, or 1770, the food landscape of 2040 will evolve—likely toward a more plant-centric, sustainable plate. However we get there, it will shape not just our diets but the future of our planet. Learn more about PoLoPo at https://polopo.tech
