Today, I am joined by Miles Watkins, one of the founders of Stuff4Life and Xeroc, both incredible propositions addressing the circular economy in two of arguably the toughest industries out there. I totally geeked out about tech, legislation and the human psychological influence on behaviours and attitudes to responsibility and the circular economy in this episode, plus while itβs vital to have welfare and environment at the core of a business, profit is equally as important. Miles and I discuss π the barriers of going against βthe flowβ, π₯ͺ the value chain change sandwich, ππΌββοΈ extended producer responsibility policy, π€ and where should we, as consumers, start in looking at whether our own efforts are carried on through.
