In this episode, you’ll dive into the challenges of one of the world’s biggest integrated bottle recycling scheme. We’ll explore how Romania, a country with one of the lowest recycling rates in Europe, is turning things around with a unique partnership involving RetuRO, drinks producers and brewers. Make no doubt this is a recycling revolution aiming to quickly change the environmental landscape by removing metal, primary glass and plastic drink packaging and making them worth something to return. We’ll look at their goal of collecting 7 billion containers a year. And most importantly, what exciting plans they’ve got for the future.

Clean coffee
Figures suggest every cup of coffee that’s produced, on average, destroys around 5 cm squared of rainforest. From next year, coffee will not be allowed to enter the EU market unless it’s deforestation free. So you have to prove it. Coffee changes hands so many times that producers and suppliers have to work on one big thing; “traceability” and reduce the number of people who own it. In this episode we go to a coffee plantation in Uganda to find out how one of the world's biggest coffee companies is rewriting the rules on making clean coffee.

Building the office of the future
Find out how one of the world's best known office area was rebuilt. Manhattan West was poorly linked with lots of small undesirable buildings. Post COVID companies need to sell their offices to employees and make them a destination rather than an existence. This is about how you sustainably transform tired 1980’s blocks, in the world’s most famous city, into an inspirational centrepiece, praised by architects around the world. And just as importantly how you finance it.
