House Warming Podcast, Episode 013: Putting Reuse Back into Reduce, Reuse, Recycle with Ecoship with Aleksandra Plewa, Co-founder and CEO of Ecoship
In this episode, Sarah talks with Aleksandra Plewa about her non-profit, Ecoship, which collects and distributes used mailers and other packing materials to divert them from the waste stream.
Aleksandra is a Chicago native with a biology and environmental background. While studying at Drake University, she became involved in conservation work and hoped to continue it in Chicago. Not being able to find anything, she began working on a project that would extend the life of shipping materials. That is how EcoShip began. They now collect gently used shipping materials from Chicago neighborhoods and nearby suburbs and distribute them to small businesses and individuals who need them.
