Program Details
Our Plastic Free Program is growing, and we want to expand its impact.
We collect bottle caps through local beach cleanups and transform them into bracelets, keychains and other useful products. Now, we’re looking for someone with an engineering or technical background to help us improve and scale our production process.
Bring your skills, creativity and practical ideas to help us turn more plastic waste into meaningful products and create a bigger environmental impact.
