Heidi Frasure / Head of Sustainability / Green Standards

In this episode, we dive into the circular economy of the workplace with Heidi Frasure , Head of Sustainability at Green Standards. The conversation explores beyond the traditional "buy-and-toss" mentality to a regenerative "closed-loop" model. We break down solutions for corporations to divert massive amounts of office furniture from landfills through donations and remanufacturing, and strategic redistribution.
