Most purchases become waste within a year, an economic reality Tom Szaky terms "negative demand." He asserts this is fixable, as everything is recoverable if economics support the effort.

He also launched Loop, a platform for products in durable, reusable packaging from major brands. An author recognized by global organizations, his insights were shared at a TEDx event.
