Saving The World Through Sustainable Packaging
Welcome to another episode of 30 minutes with DailyStraits.com.
Our guest today is Auckland-based entrepreneur Rebecca Percasky, the co-director and a co-founder of Better Packaging Co.Rebecca and her business partner Kate Bezar started the company together in 2017 and in four years have grown the company from strength to strength.
Rebecca was also recently been named the South Asia and Oceania sector winner for the Cartier Women’s Initiative, in which she won a cool NZD 137,000 prize money. She was also the first Kiwi to have won such an accomplishment.
Her company, the Better Packaging Co. is fast becoming New Zealand’s most trusted source of sustainable packaging that services over 52 countries including Australia, the United States of America, Asia and the United Kingdom.
Without further ado, let’s invite Rebecca to the show and ask her all there is in wanting to start a successful business such as hers.
In this podcast, Rebecca discusses:
- How did she transition into the packaging industry from her previous job?
- Best methodologies taken by her in looking for a business partner?
- What was the first thing she did to get her company going?
Let’s listen to the interview here:

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
