Circular packaging solutions: Trash Talks with Juliana Rincón
Circular packaging solutions are no longer a future dream, they’re being built today. In the second episode of Trash Talks, Muta’s podcast about sustainability and innovation in waste, we speak with Juliana Rincón Jaramillo, Director of Sustainability at Litoplas S.A. and POLYREC SAS.
Juliana shares how Polyrec was created as a spinoff from Litoplas to tackle the challenge of post-industrial plastic waste. Instead of sending it to landfills, they are recovering and reprocessing it to create circular materials that can re-enter the production chain.
“Closing the loop is not just about recycling, it’s about designing systems that are sustainable by default,” Juliana tells us.
What to expect in this episode:
- Behind the scenes of launching a circular venture inside a legacy company.
- Technical and logistical challenges of scaling circular packaging initiatives.
- Honest takes on balancing sustainability with business realities.
- Why collaboration between industries is essential for true circularity.
Whether you’re in manufacturing, sustainability, or just passionate about reducing waste, this conversation will give you real-world insight into circular packaging solutions that work.
