Best PRACTICE FORUMS ARE A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS FROM SBN THAT USE
MEMBER CASE STUDIES TO CREATE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN,
connect, and build a better BUSINESS. Join us on August 21st for a
discussion about the environmental impact of PLASTIC WASTE.How can
you, as a business owner and a conscious consumer, take conscious
efforts to reduce, reuse, and eliminate? Learn about creative and
innovative approaches to addressing our cultural dependency on single
use plastics. At every point in its life-cycle these businesses are
turning conventional plastic usage on its head.
Joining us for this panel will be:
* Sophie Liu, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE AT Terracycle

products in reusable durable packaging rather than single-use.

hard-to-recycle waste streams like cigarettes, pouches and more, Loop
aims to change the future of consumption by redefining how consumers
and brands treat packaging. Previously, Sophie worked in non-profit
development as well as event planning and studied ecology and
evolutionary biology at Cornell University. She’s an advocate of
zero waste living and a recycling enthusiast.
