| Building a Brand with a Purpose with Pacha’s Maddie Hamann | #77 | 25 Apr 2025 | 01:27:06 | |
The Good Garbage team is always excited to have a guest give us a customer’s perspective on sustainable packaging, and that’s what we have for you in this episode! Maddie Hamann is the co-founder of Pacha, a gluten-free organic bread. Their ingredients are sourced from regenerative agriculture, and their bread is packaged in a home compostable bread bag. With brands, big and small, complaining about the sustainable packaging technology not having enough viable options for mass production, Pacha’s sheer determination to be an eco-conscious brand at its core is what makes them stand apart. In this episode, we not only learn about Pacha’s brand values, but also hear about Maddie Hamann’s fascinating career transition - from studying civil engineering to oceanography and then pivoting to starting a gluten free bread business with her partner and three other co-founders – and why she calls herself a “Renaissance Woman”. Listen in to this episode to learn about how Pacha went out of its way to ensure all their ingredients are sourced from regenerative farmland only and what are the overall financial, moral, and even marketing implication of choosing to be an eco-conscious business owner.

| Elevating Sustainable Packaging with Rich Cohen | #74 | 01 Mar 2025 | 01:40:26 | |
Hello, hello! From a software engineer to the founder of a compostable packaging company, the story of Rich Cohen, our guest for this episode is the stuff of biopics! An environmentalist and problem solver at core, Rich was traveling on his sabbatical when he realised that plastic had reached even the most remote corners of the world. This is what led to him founding Elevate Packaging as a solution to this pervasive problem. His unique perspective of looking at things on a macro circular level is what makes him stand apart. Not only did his company make compostable packaging covering pretty much all the components from labels to tableware to gloves, but they also went on to partner up with Compost Stewardship Institute. This is to ensure their products end up in compost bins - where they belong - through their EPR takeback program. So tune in to hear about how he aims to eliminate a billion pounds of plastic annually and why he thinks the best thing for the planet would be for companies like his to go out of business!
