A major problem with recycling food waste is the usage of multiple bins.They begin and end with dirt which is the natural and organic product that we start and end with - in most circular projects. On the recycling side, dirt-to-dirt approaches are more sustainable and circular.In this episode of the Decoding Innovation podcast series, Douglas Horne, CEO and founder of Evanesce, talks to our host Mitali Sharma about compostable packaging as a solution to recycle waste, the outlook of brands toward sustainability, how different industries are pivoting to compostable solutions and why he deems “dirt-to-dirt” as the true circular economy.

So how can we change consumer behavior in the recycling process? We have been talking about recycling for a long time, but there have been very low numbers of recycling happening and very few recyclables being recycled - especially food waste.įood waste going into landfills poses a major problem for recyclers as it doesn’t mix up with things that aren’t compostable.
