2023

We created a zero-waste collection using scrap materials and fundraised for Coral Projects, an eco-friendly underwater art project supporting the rewilding of coral, oyster and many other filter lives. Proceeds were used to help Coral Projects with their first installation in Ionian Sea, Italy.

Carbon Offset

We do our best to keep our carbon footprint low. As a matter of facts, we have been carbon neutral since the inception, thanks to all the food waste that we sustainably upcycled.

That said, we don't say no to creating more carbon sink. We partner with SALT, a planform planting mangrove trees in Kenya to sequester carbon, create natural habitats and support rural communities.
