Matter Inc. has launched a new initiative called Full Circle Living that creates household goods using waste products in a way that benefits the local community. The initiative collects used restaurant oil, converts it to biodiesel, and uses the byproduct glycerin to produce soap, cleaners, and candles. It focuses on smart waste reuse and green jobs. Profits are donated to wetland restoration. Initial launch cities include New Orleans, Austin, Portland, Seattle, and later Chicago, Sydney, and others, where products will be made locally. Financial projections assume $50,000 in seed funding will allow the initiative to reach sales goals.

1. FULL CIRCLE LIVING
a new, big idea from Matter Inc.
Tippy Tippens, founder of Matter Inc., has over 15 years experience
leading design as both a consultant and employee for the world’s
greatest companies. She holds a graduate degree in design from
Pratt Institute. She is considered a trailblazing social entrepreneur,
proud to be based in New Orleans, & using her design perspective
to bring unique value to consumer goods. She is recently honored
to be part of the GOOD 100 in 2013.
Matter’s first product raised 20K in donations for gulf restoration
post BP spill. Our overwhelming success inspired the vision of Full
Circle Living, our next great product line creating meaningful
community impact.
Our spring launch of new social goods include: blankets for disaster
relief, toys to build literacy, and a collection of notebooks and totes
to encourage & inspire meaningful pursuits.
We are also thrilled to introduce the the Full Circle Living Product
suite as shown in following slides.
