From the very beginning, the company was challenged to solve the technological transition issue in a very narrow and very old conservative sub-sector of charcoal production.

In rich countries, cutting off the flow of plastic into the sea will require policy changes to encourage better waste management, a circular plastics industry, banning single-use plastics, and incentivizing reusable options. In poorer places, it requires all that and more widespread waste management.
People living in lower-income countries generally produce far less plastic waste per capita. People often dump their garbage in the street where rain and wind wash it into rivers, which eventually carry it to the ocean. Estimates of how much of the plastic at sea first floated down a river vary widely. A study funded by Ocean Cleanup put the range at 0.8 to 2.7 million tons per year. A growing population means that the number of people without garbage services will nearly double by 2040, compounding the problem.
