Impact Update 2024

It’s our 5th birthday this month, and we’ve just hit a milestone of 30 tonnes of plastic cleaned up 🌊 That’s equal to the weight of 🐟 30 million soy fish 🐟 prevented from causing harm in the ocean.  If that many soy fish packets were laid end-to-end, they would reach the length of Honshu, the main island of Japan.  We’ve achieved this through an amazing partnership with Seven Clean Seas, who not only clean up plastic from coastlines, mangroves, rivers and nearshore areas, but also provide formal employment and opportunities for locals in those places. They’re making a huge difference by addressing the cause of ocean plastic right at the source and helping the local community at the same time.  The other source is of course the products we consume and how they are designed and move through our economy. We can always do more to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics and prevent any kind of waste from being created in the first place – and in the 5 years since we launched Light Soy, so much has been done to shift toward a circular economy by amazing people. Our products are designed to shine light on the positive side of humanity – we can make things better for the planet & for people people, bit by bit, drop by drop. It’s through science, technology, engineering, creativity, art and people that we will change the world.  So thanks to everyone who has shared, purchased and loved our products – we’re very lucky to have a global community of sushi + design lovers to keep inspiring us ♥️ Learn more about the soy fish packets and how to make a difference
