Recycling is Just an Extension of Linearity with Patrick Zimmermann, Managing Director at FKuR Kunststoff GmbH

This episode is brought to you by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, a leading producer and distributor of bio-based and compostable plastics.

"Recycling is just an extension of linearity."

Patrick Zimmermann posts the same sentence on LinkedIn, and it always gets a reaction: 

He's the Managing Director at FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, a company that's been working with bio-based and compostable plastics for decades. So when he says recycling doesn't close the loop, he's not being cynical. He's being precise.

Here's what we get into:

• Why every recycling diagram you've ever seen is leaving something out 
• Why "zero waste" runs into a physics problem
• The difference between biodegradability and compostability
• How bio-based materials can fill the gap recycling can't
