Sustainable Packages, Manufacturers Willing to Sell Fewer Boxes, & More w/ James Malley (Paccurate)
If you are a bit of a shipping nerd like me, this is going to be a great episode.
We are joined by James Malley the co-founder of Paccurate where they are helping product shippers use smaller boxes so less air is shipped, resulting in fewer trucks to get the same products to your destination.
This is a juggernaut of a business as they are able to service ginormous companies with a very light staff and it all came out of just being experts in solving annoying problems in the shipping space.
This conversation talks all about...
- The shipping industry as a whole including packaging materials and incentives
- How the government is bringing regulation surrounding scope 3 emissions
- And how they built their company
If you are at all interested in shipping products, this should be a really fun episode for you. If not, then maybe skip to the second half where we start to talk about building the company.
Peace out! 🌎
