Episode #23: Podcast Show Notes
Introduction
Have you already wondered how to shift from doing ‘less bad’ to doing ‘more good’?
In this episode, you will discover what kind of FLIP you can operate for your packaging. FLIP for Footprint, Limits, Innovation, and Purpose.
To exemplify these 4 key factors, we will use some extracts from the 3 last episodes applied to renewable materials for your packaging. But what I develop in this episode, is true for any material.

Podcast music
Special thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here.
I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.
