A New Earth: Sustainable Packaging for the Love of the Ocean
When world champion surfers collaborate with industry leaders to mitigate the effects of plastic pollution in our world’s oceans, the impact is tremendous. Join Wes Carter, president of Atlantic Packaging and founder of A New Earth Project in the above trailer, “Journey to A New Earth”. Here, he unfolds his dream alongside Kelly Slater, Kai Lenny and notable others from the professional surf world to discuss solutions for eliminating plastic within the shipping industry as an important step towards protecting our oceans.
Wes Carter is not just the president of Atlantic Packaging, one of the largest privately held packing companies in North American. He’s also a lifelong surfer and dedicated ocean lover. When he realized that the packaging industry was one of the greatest culprits for plastic pollution, he decided to do take action. Today, Wes and others are leading an international movement to educate companies on how to reduce plastic consumption in shipping materials by innovating new ways to deliver products safely without the biohazard of plastic in the mix. Welcome to “A New Earth Project”.
