We believe in shifting our culture towards a circular economy, where “waste” no longer exists and all consumables are part of a closed-loop lifecycle. Our messaging encourages us all to RETHINK single-use consumption and to embrace lifestyles with more action and less clutter. This begins with understanding how the 5Rs can be incorporated into all facets of society.
We promote ways to REDUCE the amount of waste we send to the landfill by refusing single-use plastics. We spawn innovative means to REUSE what we already have instead of spending time and money on products we don’t need. We promote RECYCLING and regenerating objects unfit for reuse into functional and indispensable innovations. We RECAPTURE marine debris to prevent its consumption by marine life, its harmful interaction with our global food web, and its impacts on the aesthetic and intrinsic values of our oceans. We advocate for the REDESIGN of marine debris into artistic and functional contributions to our society.
