We discard 800,000 coffee cups a day in Aotearoa. Dave and Elric discuss why this is a BIG issue and what we can all do to fix it. From local companies leading the way to the technicalities (and greenwashing) behind "100% compostable plastic-free packaging", there is a lot to take away in this episode!
