This episode is with Ziynet Boz, who recently got a job at the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor. Her expertise is on sustainable packaging and she is also a full bright scholar. Ziynet brings a lot of insight into the sustainable packaging realm and teaches me about what type of packaging is truly sustainable, and how you can find more about it online. We also revisit the topic of lifecycle analysis, something in which I feel is becoming a bigger and bigger topic. Last week, at Expo West's Climate Day, I learned the opportunities in the packaging problem. 47% of waste we produce is actually consumer packages. Not only that, but our rate of using these packages are exponentially rising up! Though we see many companies clean up the plastics in our ocean, because we are producing packaging so fast, it won’t even matter how much trash we try to clean up! With this, the speaker  Tom Chi, presents us so many opportunities to solve this problem. From alternative packaging material to reducing. It’s definitively something to look into in the future. In this podcast, we just show you a little about the potential of sustainable packaging. Shownotes Sustainable Packaging Behavioral Analysis How do I know if a package is sustainable? : There are a lot of misconceptions with sustainable Greenwashing – companies just paint their package green  Life Cycle Analysis Consumers have the ability to research sustainable packaging Plastic is more sustainable and less energy than glass B-Pack – Startup that uses reusable packaging for e-commerce  Google Scholar– Write LCA food packaging and you can find food packaging. You can also find the material as well. If you use a package twice, it can improve the sustainability of packaging. It’s really ahrd to recycle plastic single-use bags  California banned single-use plastic bags  Modified Atmosphere Packaging In Turkey, we have Food Engineer Fullbright Scholarship – Choose 60 people who want to study in the US.
