Description

In this episode, Amanda Hsieh is joined by Dr. Garry Cooper, the Co-founder and CEO of Rheaply. This Chicago-based tech company helps Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and universities better visualize, quantify, and utilize their physical resources.
Dr. Garry Cooper is a renowned entrepreneur and neuroscientist with a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Northwestern University and two Bachelors from Indiana University. He has a diverse background with experience at Northwestern University and Ernst & Young and has received recognition from Forbes, Chicago magazine, Crain's, and Goldman Sachs. Dr. Cooper has also published in high-impact, peer-reviewed, international journals and holds a U.S. patent.
Listen as Amanda and Garry reflect on the importance of reuse in a local circular economy as they discuss the need for consumers to be more thoughtful about their purchase and waste decisions. 
Scaling our reuse ability largely depends on supporting and aligning technology, infrastructure, and public policy. Doing so creates a paradigm shift in economies that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and addresses environmental justice. Cities worldwide are poised to play a crucial role in this effort that can be a true game-changer for an inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy.

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner. Join Kaitlyn Allen and Amanda Hsieh for thoughtful, nuanced conversations with industry leaders and subject matter experts that explore the complexities about the risks and opportunities connected to (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial and (G)overnance. We like to say that “ESG is everything that’s not on your balance sheet.” This leaves room for misunderstanding and oversimplification – two things that we’ll bust on this podcast.
