Listen "S1E11: Why Should We Compost and Use Compostable Packaging?"

Episode Synopsis

John Arnold and Amish Choksey set up GreenGood, 11 years ago to provide sustainable packing solutions; and composters to convert organic waste into compost residue within 24 hours. It is my great honor to have John on the show, and hear perspectives / insights from his 50 years of career into providing sustainable solutions. 
In the episode, we discuss the multiple benefits of composting and the rationale for using compostable packaging over degradable packaging. GreenGood composter machines are successfully running for 11 years and the best success story is from Ajman Ramada Hotel. The other locations you can spot their composting machines in U.A.E are at Unilever Lipton plant, Jumeirah Hotel Al Qasr, Zabeel Palace, Gems Modern Academy School, GASCO, RAK Waste management – Fruit and Vegetable and Fish Market to name a few.
For listeners on the show, GreenGood are offering 5pct off their household composting unit, GG02 which weighs 27 kilos and can convert 5.5kg of organic waste into immediate use of compost residue for the discounted price of 4275 AED (USD 1164). Amish has been using the household machine for over 10 years now, and definitely is a strong advocate for it. To avail the offer, please mail me on [email protected]
