Reflecting on how incredibly lucky we felt to spend St. Paddy’s Day at the “Reducing Marine Debris at the Source” workshop! 🍀 Redesigning our packaging and impact is the true “pot of gold” for the planet, and it’s inspiring to see the Marine Debris Challenge Project continue to flourish.

We’ve been working with UMaine on Ocean Compostable Fish Friendly packaging since 2016 😱—this research is truly decades in the making. Seeing these concepts reach the workshop stage is a major milestone for our mission.

A few highlights that made the day:

ReuseME Updates: Learning how reusable container pilots in Bath and Bar Harbor are prepping for a statewide scale-up. We love seeing stainless steel emerging as a durable, chosen packaging option! 🍴

Biobased Materials: Wood-based innovations are catching up fast, and we are still so hyped about lobster shell-based packaging! 🦞

The Next Gen: Touring the stunning new Ferland Engineering Center to see student-led innovation in action.

We are so grateful to be working alongside the Maine Sea Grant and UMaine teams to turn research into real-world solutions for a cleaner globe. 🌎 🌊 It’s a vision we are all lucky to share! 🍀

We have exciting news—we’re officially now 3rd Planet Innovation 🌍

New name, same mission: redesigning the world’s most common forms of litter into materials that nourish the earth and protect our oceans.

We made this change to better reflect who we are and make our vision clearer and more accessible. As part of this next chapter, we’ve also transitioned to a C Corp and are now accepting investments.
