Weโ€™re kicking off 2026 with something different: a raw, reflective conversation about the episodes that changed how we think about circularity.

Three people. Three generations. Three completely different favorite episodes:

  • Katarina (our brilliant marketing lead, now finally on mic) chose Voices of the Ocean โ€” where individual action becomes global data. Ocean Conservancy proved that beach cleanups arenโ€™t symbolic โ€” theyโ€™re strategic.

  • John picked Chemical Recycling Europe and Anteroโ€™s Legacy โ€” long-term vision over short-term ROI. Anteroโ€™s story showed us that innovation is built by people, not just technology.

  • Mat went with BASFโ€™s Mass Balance and WILDPLASTICโ€™s Ground Game โ€” the two sides of circularity that canโ€™t exist without each other. BASF showed us industrial transformation isnโ€™t greenwashing when itโ€™s certified, audited, and scaled, while WILDPLASTIC reminded us that humility + commitment > flashy headlines.

And yes, we end by singing our jingle. Badly. Youโ€™re welcome.

Looking ahead to 2026:
Weโ€™re doubling down. More episodes. Tighter focus. One red thread: circularity in action.
Weโ€™re diving into:

  • Plastics & health โ€“ the risks we canโ€™t ignore

  • Bio-based innovation โ€“ beyond the hype

  • Systemic change โ€“ from waste collectors to chemical giants


This isnโ€™t just a podcast. Itโ€™s a platform for the innovators, engineers, founders, and policymakers who refuse to wait for perfect solutions when practical ones exist today. Weโ€™re here to amplify the voices shaping a circular future.
