KEEP IT UPCYCLE

Choose Reusable Food Storage

    I developed a compostable doggy poop bag company made entirely out of vegetable starch. On a pursuit to go #zeroplastic.

    Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

    I really appreciate it when I go to restaurants now and they don't automatically provide you a plastic straw. I keep bamboo straws in my purse!
