Why your brand is a fit:

• Pescavore is on a mission to help build a zero waste and planet positive future by sourcing and manufacturing local fresh seafood which creates less waste and a low carbon footprint. When considering the total lifecycle of product packaging which includes the energy consumed to produce the material, the energy consumed in transport, and the weight to waste, research has consistently found that the Pescavore pouches have much less carbon footprint than glass and metal alternatives. 
• Problems of food waste particularly affect seafood proteins because of the stringent requirements for handling of fresh and frozen products for food safety. Statistics show that around half of every pound of harvested seafood protein ends up as waste; 10 to 20 percent pre-distribution and retail, eight percent at retail, and 31 percent at the consumer’s home. Pescavore keeps it fresh and clean while significantly reducing waste.
• Seafood is the most traded food commodity in the world. The US has the second largest exclusive economic zone in the world yet 90%+ of seafood consumed in the US is imported which results in a number of environmental and social externalities. Pescavore exclusively sources from domestic fleets and manufacturers game changing products in Santa Cruz, California.

Why your brand is a fit: 

- Who we are: At heart, Mintly is a planet-positive oral wellness company looking to reinvigorate oral care routines everywhere. We bring together efficacious ingredients proven to promote oral health (including fluoride + probiotics) with clean formulas and sustainable packaging and practices. Our goal is to make high-quality oral wellness products that have the greatest impact on people's oral and overall health while having the least impact on the planet.  

- Sustainable packaging: to replace single-use plastic packaging, our products are housed in glass and aluminum packaging that is reusable, refillable, and recyclable. Our eco options for toothbrushes and floss are made from earth-friendly materials like Moso bamboo and corn straw, and are packaged in compostable kraft paper boxes. 

- Sustainable attributes + practices: in addition to our packaging, we led with sustainability at the forefront across product development, design, shipping, and more. Our waterless tablet format eliminates overuse and prevents wasted product, our labels were designed to use less color and ink for less waste, and the shipping is never expedited, all to limit the impact on the planet. 

- Other pro-planet efforts: we are a proud member of 1% for the Planet, and contribute 1% of our annual sales to environmental non-profits. 

Thank you to all that submitted!
