The First Coast Initiative: Zero Plastic Pollution
We are dedicated to making South Carolina Coasts and the Upstate the first to eliminate plastic pollution. Join us in transitioning to compostable cutlery, straws, agricultural film and packaging and protecting our ecosystems for generations to come.
Our Mission to Restore the First Coast ... Our Coast
We are dedicated to leading the charge in eliminating plastic pollution from our coastal waters. Our mission is to transition every business and household along the First Coast away from single use plastics to compostable and eco friendly solutions by 2027.
The impact of single-use plastics on our marine ecosystem is profound. By switching to compostable food service items, we protect the delicate balance of local wildlife and preserve the natural beauty of South Carolina's shores for future generations.
We provide the resources and support needed for a seamless transition. From educational workshops to sustainable sourcing partnerships, we empower the community to make the switch to eco-friendly compostable food service items.
The Problem of Persistent Microplastics
Persistent microplastics originate from everyday single-use plastics like cutlery, straws, and takeout containers. These materials break down into tiny particles that never truly disappear, threatening South Carolina's delicate coastline and marine life.
The Mosaic Solution
Mosaic Color and Additives provides the solution with proprietary compostable plastic compounds. Our materials fully break down and won’t add to coastline pollution, supporting our goal to make South Carolina the first clean coast by 2027.
