Our Mission
To inspire a more sustainable and equitable world through innovative products
GreenGear is dedicated to advancing sustainability in a practical and equitable manner. We believe in promoting sustainable practices without putting the burden on the end-consumer. As a minority-female owned startup, our mission extends beyond just sustainability; it's about ensuring that every product, every supply chain component, every partnership contributes to a more positive and equitable future. To start, we've created the EcoRain® Poncho and are now expanding into bags.
Our Story
In 2016, as a sophomore in college, I grew increasingly troubled by the negative environmental impacts of disposable petroleum-based products. As a sports fan, traveler and lover of the outdoors, I recognized ponchos as a disposable product particularly in need of improvement. After years of research, I designed the EcoRain® Poncho, which is made using sugarcane ethanol, a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastic.
​
Today, GreenGear is committed to creating impactful products, pushing environmental and social initiatives however we can, and donating a portion of our annual sales to organizations dedicated to improving the environment.
