StokedPlastic® sets a new standard with ten times more recycled content than the industry norm. From adventure gear to luxury hard goods, StokedPlastic® seamlessly integrates into manufacturing processes, accelerating brands' environmental and ESG goals for 2025 and beyond.

With over 381 million tons of plastic waste produced annually and a staggering 91% left unrecycled, StokedPlastics® introduces a patent-pending performance plastic that incorporates over 25% recycled plastic by weight—significantly higher than the 2-3% utilized in conventional recycling methods.

StokedPlastic® pellets are crafted from recycled plastic water bottles sourced from global recycling partners throughout Indonesia and Asian coastline. These pellets boast superior durability, flexibility, carbon efficiency, and circularity compared to traditional injection-molded plastics.

As a testament to its efficacy, StokedPlastic® powers Opolis Optics, the world's first fully sustainable eyewear company. From frames to their microfiber cleaning cloths and pouches, every component, excluding lenses, is crafted from recycled water bottles, epitomizing circularity in production.

Recognized for its groundbreaking contributions, StokedPlastic® has garnered acclaim in the Outdoor Industry, earning sustainability and innovation awards. Merrill was featured on NPR's How I Built This with Guy Raz with special guest mentor Gary Erickson, founder of Clif Bar.

The StokedPlastics® team, comprised of experts in materials science, scaling companies, luxury eyewear, international supply chain management, and military veterans, is poised to drive widespread adoption of this game-changing technology.

Merrill says, "We aim to clean up the oceans while showcasing the game-changing potential of StokedPlastic®. If we’re going to actually make an environmental dent, then we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. For us, that’s positioning StokedPlastic® as the gold standard as we continue to research and drive progress towards incorporating 100% recycled water bottle content into every product.”
