满足使用23个再生塑料瓶制成的旅行背包

见面8Hz这是一个新的道德品牌，致力于生产由回收塑料瓶制成的织物的产品。当8Hz的首席执行官Mateo Neri正在与世界各地的科学家和健康专家进行大型气候变化项目时，整个想法开始了。离开他的另一家初创公司后urb-e并且，他决定专注于回收，上缸和拯救海洋。

核心任务是从废物中生产出美丽的产品，而不是源自石油的纯塑料，这是制造产品的简单方法，但也对环境非常有害。在美国制造产品也是Mateo及其团队的重要因素。

是什么让您想创建社会影响品牌？

从我在圣克鲁斯（Santa Cruz）上学的太阳能学校（Solar Energy）开始，我一直都进入环境，但是在2012/13年，我以前的公司被Fortune 100消费者品牌聘用，从而从事一个大规模的气候项目，看上去是10-15年。我们专注于包括洛杉矶在内的四个主要城市的全球规模。我们寻求与世界各地的40多名顶级科学家，健康专家和大学合作，正是这个项目给了我非常深刻的见解，在URB-E之后，这使我感到困扰。

我不得不将自己称为设计企业家，做得更好，并做一些影响更大的事情。如果我对孩子进行教育，那为什么不使它成为现实。Having grown up in the beach area, I have always loved the ocean and we use to have sea life from kelp to jellyfish and now it’s gone, so seeing what’s happening with just the over consumption of plastics and the effects in our oceans and food, I wanted to impact this area and give back, this is why with every purchase we are donating to our non profit partners such as 5 Gyres.

最大的目标是在洛杉矶创建一个封闭的环路，在该循环中，将废物制成美丽的产品并在当地制造，同时帮助防止塑料进入海洋。

After a year of building prototypes, finding a great local manufacturer in Ventura, and creating relationships we needed a marketing expert and another entrepreneur with experience, so I hooked up with Jason, who started a pioneering SEO and online marketing company back in the early 90’s. Jason is a deep thinker, very strategic and I totally trust him since we had worked together at URB-E and a few other ventures so it was pretty seamless, knowing what he brings to the table, then the three of us officially launched 8hz end of 2017. The other cool thing is he was born in Hawaii and is a big ocean lover too and has been to Midway island, which is one of the areas that was affected by all the plastics in a dramatic way. The bottom line for everyone is there passion and drive for the environment and wanting to make an impact and we all have a story, but we all know we can do better and this venture allows us to put it all together.

我们还有其他一些有帮助的创意，例如TC，一个很棒的动画师。

好问题，就像我们需要另一个袋子吗？There is probably no right answer, but like most people we use all types of bags and we all personally needed this type of bag that we didn’t find on the market where it was a travel bag we can take for the weekend or longer but also use it for work. When you compare our fabric to virgin polyester, there is a 75% lower carbon footprint, so this was one of the deciding factors to make a product using this fabric that was beautiful, yet sustainable as possible. Bags was better than apparel especially when using the recycled polyester since we are not wasting bags or much fewer than apparel which would wash off micro plastics into the system.

我们目前正在测试由90-100％再生材料制成的零件和产品的3D打印。这将使我们能够为消费者定制并建造任何东西。我们还正在使用其他塑料和成型来制作消费产品，但是尝试制造不需要清洗的产品是一个因素。

Our fabric we use is made from 23 recycled plastic bottles, but let’s clarify that, not all of these come from the ocean, they are mainly collected from from the streets and recycling centers and we partner with an amazing fabric manufacturer called Waste2Wear that is owned by a dutch woman entrepreneur. Once we start to use the 3D printed parts, the recycled material % will go up.

8Hz来自Schumann共鸣，即地球的“节拍”，地球周围的电磁场连接了所有人类。我喜欢数字，8是一个魔术数字，它也代表了我在设计学校中研究的斐波那契序列的数字，以及它是如何源自自然的。它也与脑波，冥想等有关，但我认为这可能足够深！为什么不做一些与地球，动物和人有关的更深层次意义的事情，而我以一种简单的标志性方式喜欢它的外观。
