How do you define crazy?

Would setting out to make the first-ever 100% plastic-free vegan bag count as one of the definitions?
Oh and doing it in 48 weeks? Because that’s the budget.

There's a Big Problem

They're all called plant-based. True if plant meant mostly plastic.

A Hidden Gem is Found

Random midnight search results in finding MIRUM®, and it seems too good to be true.
But it is.

Carry S project went over the timeline & budget

It didn’t become the first plastic-free vegan bag

It didn’t get any big national or global recognition

And it wasn’t picked by any medium or big news outlets

But

It did achieve what really matters

.

.

Thinking crazy enough to make a difference

It’s 99% plastic-free and 100% cruelty-free

It's one of the first few products using MIRUM®

It displays its artisan's name on its back

It has a circular design making it recyclable

And It plants 8 trees to make it carbon neutral
