Episode Synopsis

What if waste was the starting point for innovation?
In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar sits down with Connor, co-founder of Rubbish Ideas, to unpack how circular economy thinking is transforming the events industry — and beyond.
Connor shares his journey from growing up with sustainability in his DNA to building tools like the Rubbish Portal, a waste and carbon accountancy software now used across Europe. Together, they explore the nuance behind “good” and “bad” materials, why top-down change is just as vital as personal responsibility, and how imperfect environmentalism can still create perfect momentum.
🎧 Tune in for fresh ideas on sustainability communication, system-level innovation, and practical paths toward a cleaner future.
