Welcome back to Season 7 of Sustainably Influenced. This series we are discussing the intersection of technology and sustainability. Most of you will have seen that recycled plastic is everywhere, from our clothes (in the form of polyester) to bags, car components, furniture, building materials, paint pots and even kerbstone. Recycling plastic has been touted as a solution to the waste problem in the technology industry, but it is not a silver bullet.

I'm speaking with Laurelin Stuart-Smith, Senior Product Manager at Belkin.
