Storm Creek’s CEO Teresa Fudenberg and Founder Doug Jackson join the hosts of Minnesota Live to discuss our “bottle to better” story

Key Takeaways:

  • Of the billions of plastic water bottles produced annually, just 11% are recycled.
  • Technology in the apparel industry is so advanced that we can make softer materials with recycled plastics than with the virgin plastics we’ve used in the past.
  • Because of that, we’ve been able to double our bottle usage.
  • Using recycled bottles also means 79% fewer carbon emissions.
  • We’re always looking for ways to improve our processes, materials and products.
  • 10% of our 2023 Earth Day event profits went to Mississippi Park Connection.
