On this episode, Andrew and Iain sit down with Stephanie McLarty, Head of Sustainability at Quantum Lifecycle, for a conversation about trash, plastic, and the e-waste quietly piling up in junk drawers everywhere.

Stephanie brings a rare vantage point: she works at the intersection of consumer habits and the industrial reality of what happens after a device gets tossed in a drawer and forgotten. The conversation moves from the personal - the old phones and chargers we all hoard without a plan - to the systemic, touching on plastic, circularity, and what responsible end-of-life management for electronics actually looks like at scale.

It's a grounded, honest look at a problem most of us contribute to and few of us think about past the point of closing the drawer.
