About

We’re here to shake things up. We think that it’s about time that the dialogue around sustainable products is re-written, by making accessibility, function, mindfulness, and style as the standard. Our mission is in the name itself, Glob is a movement, a verb. It re-imagines the way we as a community approach sustainability, because we believe that small changes can add up over time, but we have to Glob together in order to get there.

Plastic for a new purpose

B.Y.O.B.

Single-use plastic bags, your days are numbered. As the biggest repeat offenders, but one of the easiest to replace, we saw an opportunity to make lasting change. Each Glob is made from post-consumer recycled plastic in an effort to create sustainable joy for all.

The Facts

8 billion tons

According to a report from the Guardian, an estimated 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s — that’s equivalent to the weight of more than 800,000 Eiffel Towers and only 9% of it has been recycled.

1 million bottles

1 MILLION PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE BOUGHT AROUND THE WORLD EVERY MINUTE, A REPORT BY THE GUARDIAN FOUND, AND THIS NUMBER IS SET TO INCREASE BY ANOTHER 20% BY 2021 IF WE DON’T ACT. THE SAME REPORT SAID MORE THAN 480 BILLION PLASTIC DRINKING BOTTLES WERE PURCHASED IN 2016 ACROSS THE WORLD — UP FROM 300 BILLION A DECADE AGO.

12 minutes average

The average time that a plastic bag is used for is … 12 minutes. Yep, that’s right — they’re used for an average of 12 minutes and then take up to a thousand years to decompose.

glob origin

The Earth is not a globe it’s a glob. Simply put, the minds behind Glob realized that there is no single or perfect answer.

The story starts at the Graf Lantz studio in Los Angeles, which was founded by Holger Graf and Daniel Lantz and inspired by Holger’s German heritage and Daniel’s love for the Japanese ideas of less, but better. While developing and improving the assortment at Graf Lantz, VP of Sales & Marketing, Kim Christenson realized that in order for people to really break their addiction to plastic bags that reusable bags need to be more functional, always ready and way better looking.

Noticing a gap in the market, she and industry veteran Louis Terline was encouraged to explore new sustainable materials, and use the Graf Lantz platform to make real strides towards doing better for the company and the consumer- and Glob was born.
