It can take a thousand years for legacy plastic to degrade. This creates several environmental issues including soil infertility, water system blockages, fetal birth defects, non-potable water, and threats to both land and aquatic life. In addition, the petroleum extraction required to produce legacy plastic is a major contributor to anthropogenic climate change.

There is currently an unsustainable amount of single-use plastic production, with no viable plan to to end it. While we still need to find a way to deal with the existing amount of plastic in the ecosystem, our solutions will allow consumers to make a more eco-friendly decision about their consumption of both disposable and permanent goods without sacrificing affordability.
