126 - Earth Day LIVE with Laura Foti from Specright

What this episode covers

Laura Foti, Head of Marketing at Specright, joins host Adam Peak to discuss how a 'spec first' approach to data management enables companies to achieve sustainability goals and eliminate waste. They argue that the gap between corporate sustainability ambition and action is caused by a lack of visibility into packaging components, leading to greenwashing and inefficiencies. The conversation highlights partnerships with tools like Compass for lifecycle assessment and Topps for pallet optimization, emphasizing that managing specification data is critical for reducing allowable waste and meeting regulatory requirements like Extended Producer Responsibility.
