The ocean already contains 165 million tonnes of plastic. By 2050, plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish. In that same year, GHG emissions associated with plastic production, use, and disposal, would account for 15% of allowed emissions as per the Paris Agreement. Recycling is the current solution to single-use plastic, however, only 5% of plastic is recycled in the U.S. (9% in Canada). Governments around the world are banning single-use plastics and leading businesses have made commitments to eliminate packaging waste across their product offerings by 2030. Experts have proven reusable packaging in a circular economy to be the most environmentally sustainable option. However, food businesses, the primary target market, are facing a major challenge in the adoption of reusables: the costs and complexity associated with offering reusable packaging on their own are untenable. For consumers, there currently is no mainstream option for reusable packaging.
The company is a circular economy platform creating a new future for food packaging.
It is a mission-driven technology company helping food service operators and their customers eliminate single-use plastic waste through IoT-enabled Reusables-as-a-Service. The core technology is a proprietary tracking software that connects with IoT-enabled tags, two mobile applications, and an operator portal to enable many consumers and merchants to share an inventory of reusable containers within a network (e.g. city, university campus, grocery chains). The product is a Reusables-as-a-Service that enables any food business to offer their customers a convenient zero-waste packaging experience. For consumers, the membership takes the guilt away from takeaway packaging and offers rewards for reusing across a growing network of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores.
The small but mighty team is based in Vancouver, BC, and is backed by leading investors including Ryan Holmes’ LOI Venture. The company is building a world-class team with diverse perspectives. It is female-founded and relentlessly focused on the planet, people, and profit (in that order). The team works hard and plays outside harder.
The company is seeking an Intermediate Full-Stack Developer to join the team. The ideal candidate is:
