Industrial Designer - Packaging

Plastic pollution is catastrophic. 

• 7bn tonnes of plastic has been made so far. Less than 10% of it is ever recycled.
• It’s estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish.
• Microplastics have now been found in human blood.

Cirkla is on a mission to solve this. Cirkla is a sustainability solutions company that helps brands replace plastics with viable alternatives. We are working with some of the leading Fortune 500 brands and SMBs to build sustainable packaging solutions, source directly from manufacturers in Asia, and get products delivered globally.
