Climate Confident Waste Not, Want Not: Ingenium's Blueprint for Sustainable Business
Hey, Climate Confident listeners! đ§ Today's episode was such an eye-opener! I sat down with Heather Johnson, the CEO of Ingenium, a company revolutionising the way we look at waste.
We delved deep into how waste, especially hazardous waste, can be an untapped goldmine. Imagine your waste, not just as a discard but as a valuable resource to another company? Ingenium is doing just that! Matching waste producers with companies that need these very resources. Not only does this have cost-saving implications, but the environmental benefits are staggering. Itâs the very epitome of sustainability.
Heather shared how Ingenium has been making waves, particularly with large public companies, in turning waste into a repurposed asset. With California pushing businesses for waste reduction and sustainability becoming a worldwide focus, the scope of this industry is immense. đ
But as Heather pointed out, challenges abound. With the rising waste, diminishing incineration facilities, and increasing regulations, there's a dire need for forward-thinkers and innovators. And that's where Ingenium steps in, aiming to be at the forefront of waste management for decades to come.
One key takeaway? It's crucial to partner with a reputable waste management company. Heather highlighted the "cradle to grave" concept - you're responsible for your waste till the end. So ensuring it's in trustworthy hands is paramount.
