Mission: to shine a light on the state of materials recovery in the US and beyond

We are a women-owned business created to promote a sustainable future through market share. Our mission is to keep recoverable materials out of landfills, the environment, and the ocean, and get them into a circular system. In this work we engage diverse communities in the conversation about designing for recyclability and making recycling accessible and easy for everyone.

THE TEAM

Science + Passion

We are outside people. We want to save the world because we want to keep exploring it. Climate change and plastic pollution pose real threats to the lands and waters we love.

So yes, we want to save the world because it’s the right thing to do, but we’d be dishonest if we didn’t admit that we also want to save our playground!
