On this episode of Startland News’ new Plug and Play Topeka founder podcast series, we sit down with Anthony Musumeci — CEO of Earthodic — to explore the future of sustainable packaging.

Learn about their journey from Australia to the U.S., strategic seed funding, and how they’re empowering brands to ditch plastic without disrupting manufacturing.
Recorded live at the Plug and Play Animal Health & AgTech Expo in Topeka, this episode continues Startland News’ 12-part series on the founders transforming the future of animal health and agtech — and putting Topeka on the map as a national innovation hub.
