Every day in the United States alone, 15,000,000 hair ties are lost or tossed, amounting to 25,000 pounds of waste. Those 25,000 pounds worth of waste are the equivalent of 10 Honda Civics worth of trash in weight, everyday in America alone. Astonishingly, every single hair tie ever owned continues to exist in the world today, contributing to the growing problem of micro-plastic pollution. Despite their small size, the ubiquitous presence of hair ties poses a significant threat to the environment over time. Witnessing this wasteful cycle firsthand, we were driven to action. We wanted to make a product that is both good for your hair, and good for the planet. That is when we formed Piña Designs. We have a vision of making sustainable living the norm. Our first product is a biodegradable hair tie that is both stylish and sustainable. We pride ourselves in our values of only having our products made with fair, ethical labor, and having sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. We understand the weight of our responsibility and actively work to minimize carbon emissions and waste. Moreover, we recognize the importance of community engagement in combating climate change. Therefore, a portion of our profits are reinvested into initiatives aimed at environmental preservation and social progress. We want Piña Designs to become a lifestyle brand that people choose because they believe in our mission and the quality of our products.
