Shipping perishable goods—whether it’s food, pharmaceuticals, or speciality products—is a massive logistics challenge. If a shipment is delayed, it’s not just an inconvenience. It can mean spoiled products, financial losses, and unnecessary waste. So how can technology help?
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Juan Meisel, CEO of Grip, to discuss how AI and advanced logistics are transforming perishable fulfilment. Juan shares how his experience scaling ButcherBox revealed the inefficiencies in traditional cold chain logistics and how Grip is solving these challenges through real-time predictive analytics, dynamic packaging solutions, and smart carrier selection.
Key takeaways from this episode:
✅ How AI improves shipping efficiency and sustainability in the cold chain
✅ The impact of climate events on logistics and how technology mitigates risks
✅ Why standardised packaging isn’t always the best solution for sustainability
✅ The financial and environmental costs of shipping waste—and how to reduce them
✅ The role of regional vs national carriers in optimising last-mile delivery
If your business relies on shipping perishable goods, this episode is packed with practical insights on reducing waste, cutting costs, and improving delivery reliability—all while making your supply chain more sustainable.

![Grid Decarbonisation at Scale: Can a Whole Country Go Net Zero?
In this episode of Climate Confident, I’m joined by John Sturman, Managing Director at NatPower UK, for a frank and fascinating conversation on the future of grid decarbonisation, battery storage, and the technologies reshaping the global energy landscape.
We cover a lot of ground — from why the UK is leading the charge in battery storage, to how AI will play a central role in managing complex, distributed energy systems. John also sheds light on the huge untapped potential in maritime decarbonisation and explains why reforming grid infrastructure and planning permissions is now critical if we’re serious about hitting net zero.
🔋 Why battery storage is essential to replacing fossil fuels
⚡ The grid bottleneck and how we fix it
🌍 What it really takes to decarbonise a national energy system
🚢 Why ports and shipping are the next big climate challenge
🧠 How AI could bring cheaper, smarter energy to us all
This is one of our most technical deep dives yet — but packed with practical insight, policy perspective, and a solid dose of realism.
💬 Let me know in the comments - what’s your take on grid reform or long-duration storage?
