In this masterclass, I'm joined by John Sacco. John was the first real content creator in our industry and is a massive advocate for recycled materials.
John grew up in the recycling world and is currently the owner of Sierra International. Over the past few years, while hosting the podcast A Pile of Scrap, as well as creating the docuseries Repurposed, John has become the face of our industry.
In this episode we chat about:
· How he became the most prolific advocate and lobbyist for recycled materials
· Three things we can start doing today to help our industry
· The things we should stop doing immediately
· Why it's important to post on social media
· What it means to be an advocate
· And so much more!
WHO IS STU KAGAN ANYWAYS?
25 years in the metal recycling game and still learning and growing…
I learnt from the best and worked my way up from yard labourer to Executive Director of Trading and Operations for the largest metal recycler in sub-Saharan Africa. Responsible for 4,500 employees, 85 sites, and the overall profitability of a multi-billion dollar operation.
Brought my breadth and depth of knowledge to bear and co-founded the fastest growing, most-loved, and most awarded metal recycling company in New Zealand. No small feat in a country where people are outnumbered 4:1 by sheep (spoiler alert: sheep don’t produce much metal waste).
