Hello, hello!
We couldn’t have asked for a better guest to kick off the new year as we welcome 2025’s first guest Susan Thoman on our podcast!

She brings with her 3 decades worth of wisdom and as the Managing Director of Compost Manufacturing Alliance, her insights in the field of composting and certifications are unparalleled.

We talk about her incredible journey and the motivation behind her efforts to bring about a change in the composting landscape in the US. We also discuss the certification process at CMA and why it’s so important to bring together all stakeholders to minimize greenwashing and contamination.

Hello, hello!
We’re joined by bug expert and patent machine Mounir Izallalen in this episode. An expert in microbiology and it’s applications to provide solutions to real life problems, he’s currently working on creating compostable food packaging solutions with Eastman’s brand Aventa.

With Cellulose Acetate being the main ingredient used to create Aventa’s sustainable packaging, Mounir does a a deep dive to explain the biochemistry and their products’ practical applications in the current market.
