At MacroCycle, we revive end-of-life plastics. We will protect our world through our circular, sustainable, zero-carbon plastic upcycling process. With leading experts in polymer chemistry and plastics engineering from MIT, ETH Zurich and Politecnico di Milano on our team, we take plastic waste in the form of bottles, food trays and polyester textiles, and produce our first product, virgin-grade mPET (MacroCycle-PET) resin. All with zero carbon emissions, through MacroCycles net-zero and efficient low energy process.

We love building things that didn’t exist before. At Kite, we’re reimagining commerce beyond the legacy systems and supply chains that have made it next to impossible for entrepreneurs to grow products into successful brands. So we’re building a new foundation—an efficient and intelligent platform, from the ground up—and we’re looking for the right set of people to help us build it. Building something brand new requires a culture that supports both the freedom and discipline to inspire big breakthroughs. We’re not just challenging the conventions of commerce, we’re challenging every aspect of the company we’re building. Challenging ourselves to create a dynamic work environment that we’re all excited to be a part of. One that empowers people in all of the right ways, built on authorship, trust, and enthusiasm for creating something special together. We care deeply about diversity, equity and inclusion. It is an expectation of every team member at Kite—how we recruit, hire, support career development, and how we collaborate across teams to enable team members to show up as their whole selves. Our collective success is of course, important, but also our individual successes—all of the things that keep us engaged, inspired, balanced, and filled with a sense of purpose. We’re here to do the best work of our lives. If we get this right, we may just change the wheels of consumer product commerce. Not just “faster and cheaper”, but smarter, better, and for everybody—not just the big guys. Inspired by a good challenge? Come build with us: join@kite.co
