On the phone from San Rafael we have Paul Tasner whose new company, Pulp Works, won the most innovative business award for creating packaging made from waste paper, and we also have Joseph Blane, a co-founder and partner, of In.Gredients, a plastic free grocery store in Austin, Texas that won most promising emerging business.  The post Beyond Plastics – June 28, 2013 appeared first on KPFA.
