In this episode, Ushma Pandya, co-founder of Think Zero, reveals how companies can meaningfully reduce waste and emissions without sacrificing profitability. Drawing from her experience advising global firms, serving on NYC’s Solid Waste Advisory Board, and working across corporate, nonprofit, and policy spaces, Ushma breaks down what actually drives long-term sustainability change. We explore why measurement matters, how circular design can reshape products and packaging, and why waste reduction only sticks when changes in consumers’ behaviour occur. This conversation is a practical guide for entrepreneurs, leaders, and organisations looking to build climate-conscious models that work in the real world.
