    In this episode of the Plastics Revolution podcast, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Samantha Cross of Plastic Police and Cross Connections Consulting.

    Samantha spent most of her career helping companies reduce their waste as an employee of Brambles.  Then a few years ago, a combination of circumstances led her to start her own consulting company and a passion project she called Plastic Police to tackle soft plastic waste specifically.

    What started as a shipping container and one school has now evolved to a fully tested model with a scalable blueprint for businesses and organisations anywhere.

    In this episode of Plastics Revolution, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Abigail Forsyth, the co-founder and managing director of KeepCup.

    Abigail and her brother were running a number of cafes in the Melbourne area when they recognised the amount of disposable coffee cups going through their business and ending up in landfill.  Even worse, they couldn’t believe that there wasn’t already a reusable alternative on the market.

    Ten years later, the KeepCup brand has become the generic term for a reusable coffee cup in many places.

    In this episode of Plastics Revolution, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Stephen Webster of Integrated Recycling, an Australian manufacturer of recycled plastic products.

    In this show, we learn about the origins of the company and how it’s progressed from making posts from the recycled plastic film that was used to cover grapevines to a much greater variety of products now.  This includes their Duratrack railway sleepers and their “in-development” urban noise barriers – both that have the potential to use a huge amount of recycled plastic.

    In this episode of Plastics Revolution, Tammy Ven Dange chats with Chris Tangey of  Ecycle Solutions, an Australian recycler of e-waste and polystyrene. 

    Polystyrene has been a popular padding and packaging solution for a long time. However, because it’s really 98% air, it’s been the bugbear of the plastics recycling industry because it’s very difficult to transport it at a profitable rate.

    Chris and I talked about the value of this recyclable material and why they are able to provide this service when most other recyclers can’t.
