Listen now
Description
In this episode, we sit down with Emma Samson from Searious Business. Throughout the episode, Emma explains the concept behind Searious Business, namely, their work with businesses in the field of packaging, consumer electronics and furniture to make their plastic products more circular either through suggesting new alternatives or working towards sustainability regulations. During this, Emma enlightens us on Searious Business' mantra - "we are not anti-plastic, we are anti the misuse of plastic!". During our conversation, Emma shared her insights obtained from her maritime work in the North Sea. Her past firsthand experiences, coupled with her report on plastic sightings near docks and beaches, underscore the urgency of addressing ocean pollution. With this in mind, Emma suggests that the impact of regulation and the increase in community awareness has led to a reduction in ocean pollution. However, in certain areas of the globe this is still not the case,  reporting situations where the river is overwhelmed by a massive quantity of trash. Finishing the episode, Emma motivates the young sustainability enthusiasts in our audience to stay positive so that they can have a meaningful impact!
