Episode 01
John and Nick D. from the Hode Group visit with Wayne Koekeritz, Product and Zero Waste Specialist with Eco-Products of Boulder, Colorado.
Wayne discusses who Eco-Products is, his role, and what value they deliver to the professional commercial operator and the foodservice industry. He reviews "green" basics and explains commonly used industry jargon and misnomers with terms like biodegradable, compostable, greenwashing, renewable, reclaimed, and sustainable. He addresses the current state of "green" and available choices in green packaging, as well as the various materials/ substrates they are made from. He also discusses zero waste, what it is and, whether it makes sense for your operation or group, and of course, what is the process to get started.
If you ever thought about going green or you only dabble in the green space, then join Nick and I because the green conversation is on the table!
