In this episode, Rick Saez welcomes
Joe DiGirolamo, Director of Sales at
insulation company
Thermore. After sharing their early experiences
with outdoor activities and their current hobbies, they delve into
the concept of plastic recycling for insulation production. They
discuss the importance of adopting sustainability both in the
manufacturing processes and everyday operations. Thermore's Ocean
Down initiative, and the impact of our buying decisions on the
environment. Joe illustrates these with his work in Thermore,
particularly with the development of sustainable materials. He
further urges listeners to make conscious, wise choices concerning
consumption, especially when dealing with single-use
plastics.
