About
Lauren Gropper’s past work in the green-building world paired her with clients that were often asking about more sustainable food and drink wares. Stumped on a well-priced, functional, truly sustainable solution, she set out to do it herself, creating Repurpose Compostables. Now, Gropper’s mission is to convince consumers of the importance of switching from petroleum-based products to compostable plant-based solutions. “Why should we use oil for a product that we use for 10 minutes?” Gropper asks. “Why should be using a toxic material in our products that we drink from? Plant-based products are totally nontoxic and there is no waste. Repurpose is here to provide that solution.” Visit the Repurpose Compostables website.
