Trash to Treasure-How Waste is Powering the Future |Green Generation Podcast 37 | SSS

Описание: In this episode of The Green Generation Podcast, host Shruti Seetharaman sits down with Dr. R. Seetharaman, global economist and sustainability visionary, to discuss how businesses can stay profitable while embracing sustainability.

Together, they explore how the circular economy transforms waste into wealth — from recycling construction debris into roads to turning solid and liquid waste into valuable resources. The conversation highlights how nations like the Emirates are leading with visionary policies, tax incentives, and landfill elimination goals, proving that “green” and “growth” can coexist.
