The Circular Economy In Retail - A Chat With Juli Lassow
08/24/22 • 36 min
The circular economy is growing in importance. Retail is particularly sensitive to this given how younger generations are being far more sensitive to sustainability issues in their purchase decisions.
With this in mind, I invited circularity consultant Juli Lassow of JHL Solutions to come on the podcast.
We had a scintillating conversation covering why circular economy solutions are gaining in importance, what organisations can do to become more circular, and retailer's own brand circularity initiatives.
During the podcast, I mentioned an episode of the Industry Insights podcast where I interviewed a company that acts as a rental platform for retail organisations, such as Decathlon. I couldn't remember the name of the company though. I checked it out and the company is called Lizee, the co-founder I talked to is Tanguy Frécon, and the full episode of that podcast is available here.
This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.

Green Amendments And Climate - A Chat With Maya van Rossum
Systemic change is needed to fix the climate. Piecemeal regulations won't cut it.
One woman who is working on fixing this is Maya van Rossum. She's the founder of For The Generations, an organisation working to get constitutions to pass a Green Amendment passed to guarantee a right to clean air, clean water, healthy environments, and a stable climate for present and future generations.
She has already had success getting a Green Amendment passed in the state of New York and is currently working with 12 other states to get amendments passed there too.
I invited her to come on the podcast to tell me more. We had a fantastic conversation. You can really here the passion in Maya's voice as our chat covered what a Green Amendment is, why it is needed, and how to go about getting one passed.
This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.
