Relicta and Project Drawdown

Project Drawdown proposes a slew of solutions spanning various industries and sectors. Relicta works on their 9^th solution which pertains to the industry to Improve Materials specifically, Bioplastics. As stated in Project Drawdown, the main solution to reduce plastics is to shift to bioplastics. It is quoted, "Most plastics are made from fossil fuels, but bioplastics utilize plants as an alternative source of carbon. They often have lower emissions and sometimes biodegrade." Relicta successfully follows this by using an alternate source of carbon, finding it in industrial fish waste. In addition to this, their products are biodegradable.

According to Project Drawdown, "The big challenge for bioplastics is separation from other waste and appropriate processing. Otherwise, they do not fulfill their promise as more sustainable materials." This statement is absolutely crucial, which if not satisfied, renders and solution redundant. Relicta goes out of its way to ensure that this objective is fulfilled. They made their plastic's solubility the Unique Selling Proposition. By doing that, all users are aware and equipped with the right disposal technique.
