EQUO Co. (www.shopequo.com) is a sustainable brand providing 100% plastic-free and compostable solutions for everyday single-use items including drinking straws, utensils and stationary. KEEP THE CONVENIENCE, KICK THE PLASTIC.
We at EQUO dont force you to use one material that has limitations in colors, size, use or disposability. We dont ask you to learn or change your actions or behavior. We want you to continue going about your day - except in a way that is better for the environment. Easy no brainer switches so simple, you may not even notice them - even though Mother Earth does.
We go direct-to-consumer and sell to businesses. Our brand building and product education on the D2C side will help us garner the volume and revenue that we need from B2B/B2B2C - that way we dont disappear like the hundreds of other no-name manufacturers in the commodity space. We are a brand that will become synonymous with the single-use plastic alternatives category, bringing attention to a typically commoditized category to get people to care about their choice in something they never thought twice about.
EQUO will help solve the problem of millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the earth, and people annoyed with having to carry around or wash their straws. The impact of plastics on marginalized populations is severe, and exists at all stages of the production cycle, from extracting raw materials and manufacturing, to consumption and disposal. Plastic waste not only endangers the livelihoods of those relying on marine resources - it causes a raft of health issues for people who consume seafood infested with toxic micro and nano plastics.
EQUO addresses SDG goals 11, 12, 13 and 14, and 15.
EQUO has been featured in global media including on Shark Tank Vietnam, Forbes, Beyond Innovation by BloombergTV and Front Office by PlayersTV.

Today, over 60% of North American college students are unable to graduate on time and student debt has surpassed one trillion dollars. Shocking as it may sound, this is reality. But here at OneClass, our mission is to provide students with timely and relevant educational resources so they can study more efficiently and graduate as planned. Our platform encourages students to develop their own learning cycle by helping them learn, practice and master new material all in one place.
We are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to help over 2.3 million students to date who have contributed 10 million+ pages of content which include everything from self-created lecture notes to 50-page study guides. We understand that every student learns differently and in order to facilitate a more effective environment for visual learners, we have also produced close to 5,000 video tutorials covering the most highly-requested university subjects.
With new developments every day in the field of big data and AI, something that excites us even more are the 100 million+ data points collected to date from our millions of usersβ activities throughout our platform, and the ways in which we can utilize this data to better help millions more.
Facebook delivered the ultimate social experience to students. OneClass will deliver the ultimate learning experience to students.
