On this episode of the Borderless Executive Live, our host Andrew Kris is joined by Chris DeArmitt, President of Phantom Plastics, and the author of The Plastics Paradox: Facts for a Brighter Future.

What if everything we knew about plastics is wrong? What if the world isn’t facing a plastic crisis but rather a misinformation crisis? And what if decision-makers are making policies based on bad information that harms the environment and costs us billions of dollars each year?

In this episode, Chris and Andrew shed light on one of the most controversial topics in history by presenting us with the facts behind plastics and the real impact it has on the environment, as compared to other materials.

This episode of Borderless Executive Live is brought to you by our Partner, and Food & Beverage sector specialist, Brian Hughes. He is joined by Mario Ubiali, CEO and Founder of Thimus, a revolutionary company that uses the tools of cultural neuroscience to gain an in-depth understanding of the behavior and motivations that drive human beings towards their chosen food. Thimus builds a holistic vision of how neurophysiological processes intertwine with cultural, social, and epigenetic elements to impact what we eat.

In this insightful episode, Brian and Mario discuss what the science says about the links between our brains and our relationships with food, how we can change our behaviour and how these insights can importantly help shape the future food landscape in a sustainable, innovative, and ethical way.
