Our guest speaker for February's general meeting will be Beth Massa, an American entrepreneur living in Amsterdam who will discuss her efforts to bring a new product to market.
Sustainability is a key word in the work being done to reduce plastic pollution and Beth Massa is part of the shift towards environmental responsibility and wants to put an end to disposable food containers. Beth and her husband, Michael, both from Seattle and now living in Amsterdam, have developed food grade silicone reusable packaging for restaurant take-away, which will eliminate billions of one-use packages. Beth and Michael’s product is not only environmentally necessary, but once washed and cleaned, the packaging is collapsible to about a half inch, making them easy to store and convenient for reuse.
The Massas have launched a Kickstarter campaign to introduce their company, Ozarka and ARK Reusables on a commercial scale to restaurant partners. This is no easy feat, and Beth will join us at our February General Meeting to not only discuss ARK Reusables, but to share the trials and tribulations of launching a business, especially as expats. Don’t miss this interesting discussion about the zero-waste take-away revolution.
RSVP is welcomed but not required.
