Episode #54: Podcast Show Notes
Introduction
You've likely encountered a Möbius loop logo on the back of packaging. But do you know what it signifies in terms of recycling and material information?
This logo is the focus of our 54th episode, closely connected to the two preceding episodes. Together, they form a trio of audio clips under the 'Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps' series, for which Anne-Laure has graciously joined us multiple times on the podcast. As usual, let’s equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:
its meaning,
its application,
its grey areas,
and its pros and cons.
Remember to also listen to episode 52 about the Green Dot (Point Vert) and episode 53 about the Triman logo!

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.
