The First Coast Initiative: Zero Plastic Pollution
We are dedicated to making South Carolina the first coast to eliminate plastic pollution. Join us in transitioning to biodegradable cutlery, straws, packaging and protecting our coastal ecosystems for generations to come.
Our Mission to Restore the First Coast ... Our Coast
We are dedicated to leading the charge in eliminating plastic pollution from our coastal waters. Our mission is to transition every business and household along the First Coast to biodegradable alternatives by 2026.
The impact of single-use plastics on our marine ecosystem is profound. By switching to biodegradable cutlery, we protect the delicate balance of local wildlife and preserve the natural beauty of South Carolina's shores for future generations.
We provide the resources and support needed for a seamless transition. From educational workshops to sustainable sourcing partnerships, we empower the community to make the switch to eco-friendly cutlery that truly disappears into the earth.
The Plastic Problem
Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste enter our coastal waters, threatening marine ecosystems and the health of our communities. We see the impact of single-use cutlery that doesn't belong in the ocean.
The Sustainable Solution
We are leading the charge in South Carolina by transitioning to 100% biodegradable cutlery, take out food trays, and straws. Our initiative ensures that every meal we serve leaves no trace, protecting our coast for generations to come.
