"An estimated 33 billion pounds of plastic leaks into the marine environment—this is roughly equivalent to dumping two garbage trucks full of plastic into the oceans every minute…Plastics never go away.” -oceana.org

We created LOKA Earth Markers to foster creativity in artists young and old while we kill the steady stream of single-use plastics flooding onto our planet. Our scientists say even if it ends up in a landfill, a LOKA Earth Marker will do less damage in 100 years than a regular marker does before it even leaves their factory.

Here's where we are today

We're on the path to making our first fully sustainable marker. Currently, the water vapor barrier with plant-based materials don't work as well as petroleum-based single use plastic. This means the markers often need to be re-activated with a drop of water when they arrive.
