05:05 Please tell me more about the FSC certificate on your website.
06:51 What types of FSC certified products to you offer?
07:13 Would the board game come out of your factory with a FSC logo on the box?

Brilliant!! Great interview. Im glad to see those sustainable options keep coming up and they are even better quality!!
Thanks for doing these interviews. I really hope game designers, publishers, and other manufacturers watch these and take it to heart
I hope so too!
Thanks for the informational and interesting video, especially about the specific challenges with sustainability and its trade-offs. The egg carton solution is a great example of solving an insert problem with paper resources without needing to use plastic.
I look forward to hearing more on this topic.
Absolutely! Thanks for the feedback.
Great conversation. Really cool info. The using of the railroads vs ships was not something I thought of as a more energy efficient option.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Jonna! (I am sorry if I am misspelling your name^^)
Thank you for this interview. I really like to hear Hershel and what he had to say. I was super surprised to learn about the train connection China developed to get to Europe for transportation. Neat.
Have you thought about posting the full conversation in the channel?
Cheers!
thanks Mario! I don't plan on posting the whole thing which was quite lengthy.
