I had a chef the other day who messaged me and said that she had just thrown her grinders away and she'd had them for eight years.
Jeez.
So for a $6.99 product that lasts eight years, and then she obviously buys the Oryx Desert Salt to refill it.
So it's not grinding plastic.
And I did a calculation of the sales last year on our refill boxes and the buckets that we sell in South Africa to restaurants.
And we saved 817,900 bottles and heads from landfill.
So that's making a proper difference.
I used all of our cells across the board.
So in total.
So it works out to 12 20-foot containers, which is almost the size of your studio, and 12 of those per year that aren't ending up in landfill or needing to be recycled, which obviously then takes other energy and water and what have you.
Wow.
So, yeah, that's exciting.
Totally.
And I mean, you mentioned oysters.
I met a marine biologist at David Ashby's biohacking conference.
And he creates a product from oysters because they're high in zinc.
But he decided to test his oysters.
And what do you think he discovered?
Microplastic.
No, opioids and contraceptives.
