In today’s episode, Nathan Stuck sits down with Savannah Seydel to unpack what Better Earth is doing to eliminate petroleum-based plastics from our food systems and advance a truly circular economy. 

Savannah Seydel is Vice President of Sustainability at Better Earth, an Atlanta-based B Corp and compostable packaging provider, where she advances Better Earth's mission to realize regenerative circularity across the foodservice industry through product innovation, education and advocacy, and stakeholder engagement. She is also the founder of Sustaining Women, a network supporting and sustaining 800+ women across the environmental sector. With an expansive background that bridges creative writing, environmental public affairs, grassroots advocacy, and impact filmmaking, Savannah brings a distinct narrative lens to complex environmental and cross-functional corporate challenges.

In this conversation, Nathan and Savannah dive deep into her circuitous career journey—including the fateful ski lift encounter that redefined her professional path. They discuss the historical evolution of compostable packaging, why business leaders must champion a mindset of progress over perfection, and how her newly expanded national initiative, Sustaining Women, is building a resilient, intergenerational community designed to fight change-agent burnout.
