Ep:#38 The power of the reusable glass bottle with Caren McNamara
Did you know that 75% of glass bottles in the US end up in landfills? Did you know we are facing a serious glass shortage? Have you ever stopped to think about the carbon footprint of a glass bottle? And how easy it is to decrease it? Today I’m chatting with Caren McNamara, Founder and CEO of Conscious Container, a benefit corporation bringing the refillable glass bottle marketplace back into the US economy. Something that is desperately needed – from a supply chain, environmental and financial point of view. We talk about how and why Caren went from working at IBM, to creating a start-up, and living out her life’s mission. We hear about the surprising challenges she’s faced along the way. And the next phase of this exciting adventure. Caren has seen and experienced a lot on this journey, and she shares some beautiful insights on this episode. And leaves us with so many nuggets of incredible inspiration. So grab that favourite beverage or throw on those running shoes, and enjoy this chat with Caren. We have opened entries for our next TIE Accelerator programme, kicking off mid-January. This project will fill up fast.
