Building a Sustainable Future on College Campuses: ”The Power of the Circular Economy” with Alison Cove, CEO, USEFULL

In this inspiring episode, we delve into the innovative world of food tech with USEFULL, a groundbreaking company that is revolutionizing the way college campuses approach takeout and waste management. By embracing the Circular Economy model, USEFULL's solution replaces single-use takeout containers, paving the way for colleges to achieve remarkable cost savings ranging from 20% to 50%.

Join us as we explore how this elevated experience not only contributes to the campuses' "zero waste" and sustainability targets but also instills a sense of pride among students and staff for being part of the positive change. Learn the fascinating founder story, understanding why the visionary entrepreneur chose to focus on college campuses for this impactful initiative.

During the episode, we uncover some surprising facts about single-use compostable options and how they might not be as environmentally friendly as they seem. The importance of educating Gen Z about sustainable practices and envisioning a greener future becomes evident as we explore the potential for market penetration driven by city ordinances that necessitate behavioral changes among businesses and consumers.

Discover the challenges faced in implementing such changes on campuses built for single-use and where dishwashing volume might be insufficient to support the transition. The episode concludes with a powerful Call To Action, encouraging listeners to reach out and push for the adoption of USEFULL's solution on their respective campuses.

Join us on this journey towards a sustainable future, guided by true leadership and the transformative power of Circular Economy principles. Together, we can create lasting change for the betterment of our environment and society.
