129. Are Compostable Plastics Greenwashing? with Brandon Leeds

In episode 129 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we return to a highly requested topic area on the show: product packaging.

By now, we all know that plastic is a problem, but what are the alternatives? And how can we as consumers really know if other single-use packaging options are as green as they say they are?

Well, we answer those questions and many more with the founder of SOFi Products, Brandon Leeds.

SOFi Products is an innovative manufacturer of sustainable paper products. They are known for their world's best paper straws that do not get soggy and more recently SOFi has launched a paper cup with a built-in lid.
