The recent two episodes of the Good Garbage Podcast have given a fresh perspective on sustainability and made it clear that this topic is not as simple as it seems.
Our first conversation was with Sandeep Kulkarni, Founder of Kool Earth Solutions. Drawing from his global experience, he shared that the real challenge in packaging is not just about choosing the right material, but about making the right decision in the right context. Paper, plastic, or glass, each comes with its own advantages and limitations.
We also spoke with Vaibhav Anand, Founder and CEO of Bambrew, who shared the ground realities of building sustainable solutions in India. He explained that implementing biodegradable and ecofriendly alternatives at scale depends on balancing cost, performance, and systems.
While Sandeep brings a global, science driven perspective, Vaibhav highlights the practical challenges of developing solutions at the ground level in India. Together, they offer a holistic view of the current state of packaging.
If you think sustainability is only about changing materials, this might just change your perspective.
