Meet the Team
Small, but growing our team has two main things in common: 1) A deep passion to help reverse the effects of climate change 2) A sense of urgency to innovate, educate and support a change in consumer behavior moving from single-use to reusable. Human's have been reusing products and packaging since the dawn of civilization and if it's worked for thousands of year, let's bring it back in full force. One of our driving mottos is "what's old is new again"
