I'm more motivated than ever to create solutions that get plastic away from food, for the sake of people & planet health. Check out @planetfootprint on @CNBC with @CatClifford if you're curious about what microchips and food packaging have in common.
Troy Swope’s journey to launching #Disruptor50 company Footprint started when he was working as a manager at the Silicon Valley tech company, Intel. “I describe myself as an ‘accidental environmentalist,’” Swope tells @CNBCMakeIt.

We've got a massive trash problem, and it's time for new solutions. I sat down with @CatClifford to explain why @planetfootprint is seeking to end the use of single-use plastics altogether: because plastic recycling is one of the biggest lies we've been told. #PlasticKills
Humans create mind-boggling amounts of garbage: Trillions of pounds a year. Landfills release huge amounts of methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas. Companies like @AMPRobotics & @planetfootprint are trying to address the age-old trash crisis with new tech.

Great day hanging w/ Allisyn, Jasmin & Ezequias from @RoadtripNation! These roadtrippers are filming a documentary as they drive across AZ to learn about various career paths. Hard to know who learned more! Always good to reflect on what got you to today. #Mentoring

Great panel about the ways we are working to manage end-of-life realities of packaging. I believe packaging suppliers must consider their product's end-of-life before they ever hit the shelves. That's why I co-founded @planetfootprint: to create solutions that nature can digest.
For our final panel session of #RethinkingMaterials, we are certainly wrapping up with a bang. Jane Muncke, Managing Director of @fpffoundation, is moderating the panel, 'Packaging and Preservation: Meeting the Food Grade Challenge at Scale'.

I was blown away by @DrShannaSwan's latest book "Countdown" which gives insight into plastic's impact on our bodies. Dr. Swan sat down with @AgentschangeEJ to discuss how these toxic chemicals disproportionately affect people of color and how we can be part of the solution.
LISTEN: Our latest podcast episode is live! In this episode @amizota talks with @DrShannaSwan and @iamanniehoang about fertility and #EnvironmentalJustice @EnvirHealthNews #ReproductiveHealth
