2010, a holiday in Borneo, Jan-Govert van Gilst witnessed a worldwide problem at first-hand. Vast areas of forest being destroyed and beautiful beaches awash in a sea of plastic waste.

This won the Zuid-Holland Prize and reached the finals of the TEDxAmsterdam Award in 2011 and in 2013, bringing the company to the attention of the media. However, Jan-Govert realised that bamboo wasn’t the answer. He approached Wageningen University, who pointed him in another direction. Elephant grass.
