Mindful consumption is at the essence of what we do — which means that for Black Friday weekend, it was important for us to do more than just discount. As such, we offered our customers an opportunity to help out with a meaningful cause, to remove 2000kg of plastic from polluted Indian rivers, in collaboration with the wonderful team over at Plastic Fischer.
Plastic Fischer is a social enterprise founded in 2018 by three friends on a trip to Vietnam who witnessed the intensity of the plastic pollution issue in the Mekong River. They went on to learn that 90% of the plastic in the ocean enters through rivers and 80% of river plastic stems from only ~1000 rivers. As a result, they created Plastic Fischer with the idea that if they just focus on these 1000 rivers, they can make a major impact on the problem of ocean plastics.
Below you can find the full impact report.

Thank you to Karsten and the team for letting us be a part of it.
