LOOKING BACK TO MOVE FORWARD

08 04 QWSTION backpack
2008: Launching QWSTION based on plants (cotton) instead of plastic for the main fabric

As we curve forward in our goal of being a fully-circular company by 2025, we’re also arcing back to the fabric of our mission: developing materials from plants, not plastic – so as to drive positive change for the planet. On the cusp of a new year, we’re honouring the previously-planted seeds, years of prototyping, and all the questions that have led us to take a different – and better – approach: better for earth and all its living beings. Here are some of the milestones we’re most proud of.
