Women In Sustainability Series, episode 1.?
Introducing Victoria, Co-Founder at Damn Plastic, a franchise and online store that sells plastic free products like edible straws, bowls, spoons, biodegradable ear swabs and bamboo toothbrushes!
Based in Austria, the founders of Damn Plastic are on a mission to make sustainability more mainstream by selling products that reduce the amount of single use plastics.
Founded in 2018, the idea for Damn Plastic originated when Co-Founders Victoria and Steph “got drunk” at a festival and they couldn’t stop looking at all the plastic and single-use trash that was, in their words, “f***ing everywhere”.
So in 2019, they opened their flagship store in Salzburg, Austria. Since the launch, the team at Damn Plastic have grown rapidly over the past three years and have accomplished a lot: from receiving the UN Sustainable Development Goals Action Award in 2020, to helping other green entrepreneurs in discovering their dream and launching their own Damn Plastic franchises. With more franchises appearing not just in Europe, but now around the world, the team at Damn Plastic is growing and so too is their #DamnPlastic reach!
From their stores, consultancy and B2B work, the team at Damn Plastic believe in making a damn solution to addressing the needs of climate change and reducing our environmental footprint. Their focus is making environemntally-friendly purchasing habits–which eliminate harmful single use plastics–as easy as possible.
This week’s podcast guest features Victoria Neuhofer, Co-Founder at Damn Plastic as part of our ‘Women in Sustainability’ series.
