Plastic Packaging in People's Lives

How do you treat plastic waste in your home? Are you a good recycler or a wishcycler? Professors Alexandros Skandalis and James Cronin speak to the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business #TransformingTomorrow podcast about their work on the Plastic Packaging in People's Lives project analysing consumer behaviours around plastic waste. Discover a shift from plastic as an environmental saviour to a major sustainability problem, from a luxury item to something almost invisible in its ubiquity, and how the material is intrinsic to our modern-day society.

We're in the middle of recording new Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business #TransformingTomorrow podcasts at the moment, and we've put together a mini-series all about the Plastic Packaging in People's Lives project. The latest of those episodes landed this week, where Jan Bebbington and myself had a great old time talking with Linda Hendry about #PlasticPackaging and #SerialKillers. As you do. You always learn a lot about your guests on these recordings, and this time my big takeaway was that Linda has a domestic engineer at home to do all the work for her. Back in the studio tomorrow to dig out other dark secrets from another group of unsuspecting victims/guests* Listen here, or wherever you download your podcasts: https://pod.fo/e/29cdac *Delete at Appropriate
