I love strategy and problem solving. I love a good crisis and finding ways to remove barriers. I have an in-depth understanding of pollution as a resource, waste as a design flaw, circular economy, recycling, ocean bound plastics, equity, design, entrepreneurship and technology ( I have a tech background!) I've started 2 successful startups (one a tech company), raised 4 investment rounds and worked for many blue-chip multinational companies resulting in experience in a number of fields. I love learning new things and creating change. I have a degree in biochemistry and microbiology and I'm most importantly I am a mother, sister, daughter, friend and an earth lover! Global warming is our generations crisis/war, and I am using everything I have learnt all my skills (and some) to make sure we win.
NEED
Converting more users to POLLAST!C. We need support scaling (via customer uptake) the POLLAST!C project, we’ve done the R&D and have proven that POLLAST!C has the potential to replace all virgin plastics, and with that create jobs, clean up the environment and reduce carbon emissions. The price is competitive and will eventually be cheaper than virgin plastics. Now it’s just about scale and making it available across other all plastics industries. Our vision is to find a way to open source this solution so that all plastic pollution is harvested and brought back into loop, meaning no need to produce virgin plastics and a global plastic pollution clean up. We need as much support to do this as quickly as possible, all hands-on deck literally!
Call-to-Action
We'd love as many introductions to companies using, selling and/or making soft plastics so we can convert them to POLLAST!C! The more companie that get on board the more we clean up! POLLAST!C packaging is a means to an end to make impact including environmental and social.
