How We Started Footprint.
History has incredible examples of friendship that have changed the world: Bill Hewlett and David Packard, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozinak. These iconic though leaders inspired Yoke and me to work together to take on the plastics industry by leap-frogging it with fiber. Plastic packaging for food products is proven harmful, so providing paper alternatives for straws, 6 pack rings, cups, lids, and microwavable bowls is our mission. Although our backgrounds are as engineers, we joined incredible marine scientists, environmentalists, and NGOs to save the oceans, the planet, and our bodies, because #PlasticKills.
