<span data-start-time='3688' data-end-time='7833'>He spent most of his career making plastic.</span> <span data-start-time='7833' data-end-time='19271'>He made “blister packs,” the plastic wrap around consumer products that are very hard to open, even with scissors.</span> <span data-start-time='19271' data-end-time='28208'>The packs help protect products during shipping, and help prevent goods from being stolen.</span> <span data-start-time='28208' data-end-time='34479'>Then one day, Tasner had a moment that changed his life.</span> <span data-start-time='34479' data-end-time='44750'>“My wife came back from a big box retailer with a pair of these industrial-strength shears for opening packages.</span> <span data-start-time='44750' data-end-time='51833'>That’s what is said on the package: you know, ‘For opening those hard to open plastic blister packages.”</span> <span data-start-time='51833' data-end-time='53854'>The shears were called, ‘Open it.’”</span> <span data-start-time='53854' data-end-time='65438'>He says the funny -- and crazy -- part was that the shears to open the blister packs were packed -- in a blister pack.</span> <span data-start-time='65438' data-end-time='68875'>This gave him an idea.</span> <span data-start-time='68875' data-end-time='77042'>That idea was to create environmentally friendly, biodegradable packaging.</span> <span data-start-time='77042' data-end-time='83250'>Tasner lost his job during the economic recession years ago.</span> <span data-start-time='83250' data-end-time='88521'>He was 64 years old and he did not want to retire.</span> <span data-start-time='88521' data-end-time='92667'>So he decided to start his own company.</span> <span data-start-time='92667' data-end-time='103042'>His aim was to create a product that was similar to regular plastic, but able to be composted into soil.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
