Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can’t Buy Me Love… But You Can Buy Better Packaging
Q: Given regulatory differences, how are North American practices comparing to the EU in terms of sustainable packaging approaches?
EU policy tends to drive higher recycling rates and EPR-like fees that favor metal packaging, while North America is catching up with policies and infrastructure, influencing design and material choices.
Can’t Buy Me Love… But You Can Buy Better Packaging
Q: Can you walk us through what infinite recyclability actually means in practice and how this differs from other packaging materials?
Metal can be recycled repeatedly without loss of inherent properties, unlike some layered materials, and it supports longer shelf life and better containment, contributing to reduced waste.
Can’t Buy Me Love… But You Can Buy Better Packaging
Q: To kick us off, can you talk to us a bit about Trivium Packaging and the need that the company is filling with its sustainable packaging solutions?
Trivium positions metal packaging as infinitely recyclable and highlights its well-established recycling infrastructure and high value, making it a leading choice for circularity.
Brewed Awakening: The Future of Sustainable Coffee
Q: How will the European Deforestation Regulation affect the sector, and what should companies do to comply without harming smallholders?
Etelle explains the regulation's impact on deforestation and slavery checks, the risk of abusive disengagement, and the need for living incomes and robust due diligence across supply chains.
Brewed Awakening: The Future of Sustainable Coffee
Q: What adaptation strategies are producers using to deal with climate risks, and how do productivity and quality balance with resilience?
She discusses agroforestry, shade management, crop diversification, and farmer-centric approaches to maintain livelihoods while improving climate resilience and biodiversity.
