Rethinking zero waste with Ushma Pandya

In this episode, Ushma Pandya, co-founder of Think Zero, shares how companies can reduce waste and emissions in meaningful ways without sacrificing profitability.

Drawing on her experience advising global firms, serving on New York City’s Solid Waste Advisory Board, and working across corporate, nonprofit, and policy spaces, Ushma explains what truly drives long-term sustainability change.

What makes sustainability efforts work

In this conversation, we explore why measurement matters and how it helps organisations make better decisions. We also look at how circular design can reshape products, packaging, and business models.

At the same time, Ushma reminds us that waste reduction does not happen through design alone. For lasting change to happen, consumer behaviour also needs to shift.

A practical conversation for real-world change

This episode offers practical insights for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and organisations that want to build more climate-conscious models in the real world.

Overall, it is a grounded conversation about zero waste, sustainability, emissions reduction, and the kind of systems thinking needed to create change that lasts.
