S3:E8 Don’t “Unwaste” Our Time!

The recycling system is broken. Did you know that only 9% of what we put in blue bin programs is actually recycled? Our guest today is on a mission to address this issue.

In today's episode, hear how Ashley Gorrie and her company, Unwasted, are taking a stand to clean up recycling by harnessing the power of design and discarded plastics to create functionally beautiful furniture.

When asked why she's pursuing this Unwasted vision when the road seems so challenging, Ashley said, "it may be the crazy entrepreneur in me who doesn’t know when to stop, but it's also the right thing to do. I don’t know if we will be successful but we are going to try our hardest to fail and win forward in the right direction for change."
