Your daily hygiene routine has more to do with the future of our planet than you may think. Around the world, 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are discarded each year, enough to fill 50 Empire State Buildings. And since most tubes are made of mixed materials, typically plastic and aluminum, they are incredibly difficult to recycle and often wind up in landfills. The design has changed very little since the invention of the first toothpaste tube in 1856, but that’s starting to change.

Lindsay McCormick is the founder and CEO of Bite, makers of plastic-free, cruelty-free products on a mission to become the world’s most sustainable personal care company. Lindsay has built a multimillion-dollar company aimed at getting plastic out of our daily routines with her first product being viral toothpaste tablets in 2018. Since then, Bite has created an entirely plastic-free oral care set and most recently, released the first ever 100% plastic-free deodorant with compostable refills and its plastic-free and pump-free body balm. During this episode, Lindsay and I had an insightful conversation about the challenges she faces as a pioneer in her industry and her advice for new founders seeking to make a change.
