About Okeanos
During diving excursions together, our founders, Florencio and Russ found themselves swimming alongside plastic bottles, straws, and bags, an issue they noticed was only getting worse. Their solution combined knowledge from their respective fields of medicine and food packaging with the principles of source reduction, and biomimicry. They rallied the world’s best engineers, chemists, designers, conservationists, geologists, physicians, writers, programmers, and even a nuclear physicist, from all corners of the world, and Okeanos was born.
