Our team started as a group of strangers who banded together for the Circular Innovation Jam 2020. It was a week-long virtual ideation event where groups sought solutions to advance circular economies.

Our particular team was bonded by our passion to use the circular economy to help address plastic pollution. And our different backgrounds - from industrial design, to marketing, to engineering led us to the Retaso Pouch System idea.

Though we didn't win the seed funding from Circular Innovation Jam, we still continue to pursue the Retaso Pouch System idea because we believe that it could create a huge impact in helping address plastic pollution.
