Good Garbage Podcast
A celebration of what the world throws away — and the people turning it into what brings the planet back to life.
Garbage isn't trash. It's a resource waiting for a better idea.
Good Garbage started with a simple idea: sustainability doesn't have to be grim or preachy. It can be an honest celebration of human creativity and natural systems working together. Each episode, we sit down with the people doing the work — biomaterials scientists, USDA researchers, packaging founders, environmental artists. We talk about how seaweed, agricultural residue and yesterday's waste become resources with new value — no greenwashing, just real science and plain talk.

"Decay is simply the first step toward growth."
Ved has spent his working life on a question most people would rather not sit with: what happens to the things we throw away? He answers it by building — running Pakka, where sugarcane residue becomes packaging instead of waste.
On Good Garbage, he sits down with people doing the same work in other corners of the world. The belief behind every episode: when the right people find each other, change comes faster.
