Trash Plastics was born from a desire to revolutionize the outdoor gear market. After years of working in the outdoor industry, the founders were frustrated by the fact that much of the gear available was made abroad, under questionable labor conditions, using non-recycled plastics. They saw an opportunity to tackle the plastic waste problem in the USA by giving it a second life. With humble beginnings - a blender, panini press, simple molds and some recycled materials from the neighbors recycle bin, Trash Plastics set out on a mission to bring new life to trash.
