DO YOU KNOW? - The original desire when inventing the plastic bag was to save the Earth.
Gustaf Thulin, a Swedish engineer, invented plastic bags in 1959 because producing paper bags would have to cut down forests, and consume and pollute water sources - All of which affect the environment. Compared to paper bags, plastic bags were stronger, reusable, and could be a good alternative to paper bags at that time.
Can we live without plastics? Absolutely NOT. Or we may live differently.
Focusing on plastic alternatives at an early stage, the C-Plastics Incubator 2021 organized by Spring Activator, Canada and KisStartup, Vietnam under the sponsorship of The Incubation Network was born with the desire to make the CHANGE our planet deserves.
We focus on training early-stage entrepreneurs to establish a viable product or service to address plastic waste while engaging angel investors to navigate potential funding opportunities in the region.
