Gary explores how choosing a purpose-driven path in business can challenge destructive systems. Gary Smith is the CEO of B Corporation, BioPak, an award-winning, global leader in compostable single-use packaging that provides innovative, plant-based alternatives to foodservice plastics and helps businesses work towards a circular economy.
Starting his entrepreneurial journey in 1987, Smith built a series of IT businesses in South Africa, culminating in the sale and listing of the merged IT hardware entity on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1997 with Sofline Limited.
In 2001, he started another IT hardware business called IP Trading Pty Limited in Sydney, Australia, which he sold in 2005 before consulting in various businesses in a private equity capacity.
In 2006, Smith recognised the growing environmental problem of plastic in oceans and set out to challenge the status quo by founding BioPak with business partner Richard Fine, disrupting the foodservice industry with ground-breaking renewable resources to create single-use packaging made from plants. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
