Episode #33: Podcast Show Notes
Introduction
Have you already felt a bit confused about packaging materials and their recycling? Well, I partnered with M & Mme Recyclage to help you survive and thrive in the packaging Wild West thanks to a series of «Wild W[a]st.e» audio clips!
What is «wanted» in this first one? The lobbyists' arguments about GLASS packaging:
infinitely recyclable,
inert,
ecological or sustainable.
We will always reward you with
unbiased technical vulgarization,
tips,
and examples.
... which is worth millions of dollars!
Stay tuned for the next one! The Wild Waste audio clips series will be broadcasted one episode on two, each month, on the Unboxing Your Packaging podcast.

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.
