Help us launch multicolor
We’ve developed the prototypes for multicolor marker sets. As an early-stage company, we’re seeking your help to bring them to market. We’re now accepting pre-orders to crowdfund these new sets. Every order gets us one step closer. As soon as we reach our goal, we’ll be able to hit go on our first mass order. When the LOKA markers arrive from our factory, we’ll ship them to you. Plan on about 6 weeks from being fully funded to delivery. We’ll send updates along the way.
Please share LOKA markers far and wide to help us complete our goal and make these markers, while eliminating plastic pollution from across our planet!
Solving with Science: Our "Final Trip" Approach
Low Impact Materials
We use recycled and organic alternatives to virgin plastic, making a small dent in the 400 million metric tons of plastic getting discarded each year across the planet.*
Biorecyclable Additives
Activate in anaerobic environments (e.g. landfills & marine environments), because +90% of plastic waste ends up either incinerated (20%) or in landfills and oceans (80%).†
From Centuries to Years
Our molded parts break down more than 50 times faster than standard plastic, which takes 400 years on average.‡ They leave only inert humus and biogas, a source of renewable energy.
* According to the United Nations Secretary-General, 400 million metric tons are produced annually worldwide.
† The Environmental Protection Agency (2018) reported an 8.7% plastic recycling rate. Of the 91.3% of plastic waste that goes unrecycled, 17.2% of it is incinerated, and 82.8% ends up in a landfill or an ocean.
‡ WWF reports polypropylene products can take up to 500 years to decompose. Our resin mix includes Advanced BiorecycleTM Technology that opens the polymer chain, allowing water & microbes to break our plastic down to a molecular level, at a rate of 50 times faster than standard PP, based on the ASTM D5511 standard for biodegradation in landfills.
