Seed Post Comment Thing: A startup called Solgaard makes suitcases, backpacks, and other cool things made from upcycled ocean plastic. They have a few different patented types of materials but cool porducts made from ocean plastic. The model is actually profitable as well so as they scale it seems to be doing well. Still a smaller startup but kind of cool to see a startup with a sustainable model that actually is profitable and also taking ocean plastic out of the ocean.
