Full disclosure - I'm on the marketing team for this product. But I obviously think it's great, and would be willing to take any questions here :)

This is so cool! Thank you for creating this product. The amount of plastic waste in our oceans is horrible.

@molly_james Thank you Molly :) We're just getting started!

Hi guys! Can you share more about where and how did you work in Brazilian favelas to make this product come true? I'm from Brazil and I'd love to hear about the impact of The Ocean Bottle on people living here.

@rodrigo_leles Hi Rodrigo! Yes! Our Brazilian plastic collection points are currently in some of the favelas in São Paulo. We are taking on new projects with partners in Rio to help stop plastic pollution in Guanabara!

@michellewiles That's awesome! Let me know if you need any design help here in Brazil :)
Courtney Carlsson
Hi there! I think the mission of your company and design of the product are awesome. I saw your guys' email on LBS campus community earlier this week - purchasing one in Sky through your Indiegogo campaign. Excited to see how this does, I'm rooting for you!

just bought a new klean kanteen a few months ago. love the idea of the 2 openings! too bad you didn't launch it a few months ago. will the price go down in the future?

@minhlede hi Minh! Thank you! Klean Kanteens are also nice. I’m not sure about the price - right now our best deal is on our crowdfunding campaign, and the price will rise after that closes because we have a discount to early supporters. Our materials and investment in plastic collection are high. However, if we can secure bulk discounts in the future we will pass that off to the consumer :)

I can't wait to receive mine and start using it!

Pros:

Its a cool looking product that can actually have a tangible impact.

Cons:

There are already some other water bottles out there, but none of them have the same direct impact on ocean plastic.

What happens to the plastic that is collected?

@shimmb It's collected and resold as 'social plastic.' Corporations can choose to use this recollected plastic in their products as opposed to new virgin plastic --> creating a circular system
