Rethinking Plastic - Shore Buddies

Let’s talk plastic pollution. What if I told you that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050? Unfortunately, due to wasteful human habits, the World Economic Forum predicts that we could overrun our planet with our reliance on plastic convenience. This is why we must urgently rethink our relationship with plastic.

Instead of creating more plastic to use for our items, why not reuse all the plastic that already exists? Shore Buddies is an innovative company that is rethinking the way we look at plastic. CEO Malte Niebelschuetz gives us his story on how he moved from Germany to San Diego, and was surprised with the amount of plastic pollution on the ocean beaches. With some inspiration from Patagonia, Malte explains how he created Shore Buddies to rethink the plastic problem. Shore Buddies is a force for good that takes recycled plastic and turns it into stuffed animals which helps educates children about the issues of plastic pollution. Shore Buddies also helps facilitate beach clean ups and publishes books on these important plastic topics. Check out this podcast to learn how Shore Buddies is more than just stuffed animals, but actually a force for good against plastic waste.
