Did you know, in 2018, almost 480 billion of plastic bottles were sold? That's almost 1 million every minute.\n\nIn this episode of the Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today) podcast, I interviewed Scott Edwards, founder and CEO of Drop Water and Champion of Compostable Water Bottles.\n\nDrop Water is making bottled water more sustainable with their unique packaging and manufacturing methods. \n\nFor their innovation, Scott and his team won the silver prize for the 2018 FedEx Small Business Grant Contest beating 7,800 other applicants. \n\n\n\nYou can get Drop Water beverages from Drop Kiosks currently found in both terminals at the San Jose Airport and a Kiosk was recently added into the San Francisco Airport. \n\n\n\nPlease make sure to subscribe to the Sustainability Champions podcast to learn about other champions of sustainability. \n\n\n\nI hope you enjoy the episode! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources:\n\n\n\nPolyethylene Water Bottles: https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/materials-handling/plastic-bottle-manufacturing/\n\nPolymers: https://www.osborneindustries.com/news/polymers-vs-plastics/\n\nAdaptogens: https://time.com/5025278/adaptogens-herbs-stress-anxiety/\n\nDrop Stations by Drop Water: https://bcmechanicaldesign.com/portfolio-item/drop-station-by-drop-water/\n\nThinking and Systems by Donella Meadows (2008): https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Systems-Donella-H-Meadows-ebook/dp/B005VSRFEA\n\n\n\n\nWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/ZRz5t3_j6Lg\n\n\n\n--\n\nHosted by Daniel Hartz\n\nSustainability Champions\n\nhttps://www.sustainabilitychampions.com\n\nInstagram: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nFacebook: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nLinkedIn: @Sustainability Champions
