Upcycling Cardboard in Hawai'i 

Hawai’i uses a lot of cardboard. Enough cardboard to make a large hill, maybe a couple. From e-commerce to agriculture, we go through thousands cardboard boxes every second of the day. They come to us from thousands of miles away. When we recycle it, it's put BACK on a ship and SENT thousands of miles away.

Trees are used to make cardboard, millions of trees every year. Most of these take about 50-75 years to grow or about the time it takes to become someone’s grandparent. Think about the last time you held a cardboard box. From holding it to putting it in a bin, how long were you actually holding that box?

​

We work with the local community to use cardboard in making soil for the farmers and ecosystem. We make compostable packaging, garden and art supplies to replace imports. We work with the community to spread this knowledge and process so it can multiply. 

​

With everything else going on in the world, it's a good time to do something new. We hope that you can join us, in ways small and big, because we'd be better off if you were on board.
