Everyday Products Without Everyday Waste&trade;</p> <p><strong>Origin Story</strong></p> <p>This all started with Jeremy Lang, our founder. He saw firsthand the damage plastic was doing to our oceans while on a family vacation in Hawaii in 2008. Jeremy had the courage to spend years experimenting with new materials to try and find an alternative to plastic that could be used in everyday products. We are working on helping humans rethink waste, and creating a circular economy around it.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>CORE VALUES:&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Commit to a culture that builds a strong COMMUNITY.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foster CREATIVITY to inspire fresh innovation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embrace COURAGE by taking action despite uncertainty.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Live with Awareness and CONSCIOUSNESS of our choices</span></p>
