LARQ: Part of the solution

1% for good
A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. Only 7% of those collected were turned into new bottles. Instead, most plastic bottles end up in landﬁlls or in the ocean.
That’s a statistic that you don’t want to be a part of. LARQ believes technology and design have the ability to transform our planet for the better. A portion of proceeds go to our charity partner, 1% for the Planet, to beneﬁt the environment and bring safe drinking water to billions.
