In this solo episode Eve shares what she learned at The Plastic Free Gathering and how it applies directly to product-based businesses aiming to reduce plastic. Rather than coming away overwhelmed, Eve came back inspired and she's sharing the three ideas that stuck with her most, plus how they tie into this month's Plastic Free July movement.

We cover:

  • Why you don't need to be a big organisation to make a difference — and how every decision ripples out to your customers, suppliers, colleagues and communities
  • Why designing for sustainability from the start is so much easier than retrofitting it later
  • Why sustainability isn't always the main reason someone buys from you 
  • Reframing small swaps as ripples rather than an all-or-nothing overhaul
  • Practical, low-pressure ways to take part in Plastic Free July, in your business and at home
