“We need to do MANY things NOW to balance the health of Mother Earth for future generations.

This is one of those things.”

— Lauren Vacey, Founder + CEO

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) cannot be recycled and takes a long time to breakdown in nature.*
PVC leaches Polyvinyl Chloride (an endocrine disruptor), heavy metals, BPA’s and many other harmful chemicals that affect growth and life sustaining biological functions.*
Upcycling is the best way to keep them out of our landfills.*
When they end up in our landfills they continue to pollute for an exponentially long time.
They are toxic to humans and leach estrogen disrupting chemicals.*
