In this episode, Shraddha Kumar continues her conversation with Emily Alfred from the Toronto Environmental Alliance, looking at what major events can teach us about reuse in practice.

While full reuse did not make it into FIFA stadiums for the World Cup, there were still important lessons from the ground, from waste sorting efforts at fan sites to reusable systems at Pride Toronto and Live Nation’s rollout of reusable cups across major outdoor venues in Toronto.

As Emily explains, better waste sorting is important, but it also shows just how much staff time and effort goes into managing single-use packaging once it has already been created.

Part one of the conversation is available on the previous episode.
