Sustainable Business Covered podcast: Geothermal waterparks and rubbish cafes

The latest edie podcast – and the last one before edie Live next week – sees edie  travel to the outskirts of Paris to uncover how Villages Nature Paris tapped into geothermal energy to deliver on a holistic 10-step sustainability framework.

During the trip, edie sits down with the park’s corporate and social responsibility manager Emilie Riess to discuss how geothermal energy is just one sustainability aspect of a park hoping to reduce emissions, reuse waste and enhance biodiversity.

Later on in the episode, edie travels to London to visit Ecover’s pop-up “rubbish café”, which marks the launch of a new washing-up liquid range which comes in a new 100% recycled and 100% recyclable bottle. At the café, edie speaks to Ecover’s long-term innovation manager Tom Domen on what innovations to look out for in the fight against plastic.

You can listen to the edie podcast for free, with no fees or registration required. The podcast is ideal relevant for sustainability professionals, energy managers, resource efficiency experts and anyone who has an interest in sustainable business and climate change.
