89. A BioBased Backpacking Food Packaging That Actually Works with Eric Boxer

In episode 89 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we are returning to the topic of food packaging. If you’ve listened to previous episodes, you know that we talk a fair bit about trail food on the show. While ingredients come up in discussion, the primary goal of my conversation with Eric Boxer, the Chief Sustainability Officer and Head Chef at RightOnTrek, Inc., was to learn more about how RightOnTrek chose their biobased packaging and how other companies can learn from their pursuit towards a more sustainable backpacking lifestyle.

Eric has been a life-long outdoor enthusiast for extended excursions on the road less traveled via bicycle, canoe, skis, and on foot. In previous career journeys, he commercialized his own line of energy bars that used sustainably-farmed ingredients and consulted on energy efficiency for buildings and industrial processes. Eric is passionate about helping people experience food and the great outdoors with minimal impact to the environment.
