50 years in use. These simple plastic picks have been around for generations.
Kids even eat vegetables when using them 😉
Maybe it’s not the material.
Maybe it’s how we design and use it.

Greetings from Bali ❤️
After storms and high tides, up to 60 tons of plastic washed onto Bali’s beaches.
The ocean simply returns what the system left behind.

Most recycling only works with perfect input.
Real waste streams are messy.
If circularity depends on purity, it won’t scale.
From sanding… to scale.
#circulareconomy#recycling
We work with mixed plastic residues - minimally processed, locally available, typically not economically recyclable.
Industrial reproducibility > laboratory perfection.

Clean-ups clean beaches.
Systems decide whether they stay clean.

Two thirds of our oceans lie beyond any national border.
A new UN agreement aims to protect the High Seas.
Protection on paper is easy.
Protection at sea is hard.
What matters now is enforcement.

Europe is losing recycling capacity.
As the FT reports, policymakers focus on cheap plastic imports.
But imports are only the surface issue.
Recycling pays for honesty. Virgin plastic doesn’t.
Same market. Different rules.
