Single-use plastic has only been around for a short time, but it has had a profound impact on our health and the environment. Lauren Gropper, Founder and CEO of Repurpose, joins us to discuss the plastic problem and how Repurpose is using plant waste to make alternatives to disposables. She also explains what PFAS (aka forever chemicals) are, and why we should avoid them. Resources discussed in this episode:
