We believe that by providing a positive, can-do approach to this huge problem, we can not only open up a converstion on what real-world engagement of plastic waste can look like, but also model engagement of the other huge problems we face that also seem just too big to compehend, let alone engage.

By helping us engage in the quixotic mission of tackling the long-ignored problem of plastic recycling we hope applicants will learn valuable skills, from building a business, to how to engage real-world issues.
