Dear Recycler,

We founded ecopod to change the way the world recycles. Our exploding worldwide population is putting a greater and greater strain on our natural resources and the environment in general.

Something needs to be done. We decided it was time to do something that will help make our world a little greener. So we developed the concept of "making recycling simple and rewarding" at home and the office. After some initial research, we found that over 130 billion beverage containers are sent to our landfills each year in America! Over 10 billion containers end up in California landfills every year.

The goal was clear: make it cool to recycle and build world-class products that make it simple and rewarding to do so ... a lofty goal indeed requiring great partners. Our first partner was BMW Designworks headquartered in Southern California. Designworks is known not only for developing the BMW X5 and Z4 but also for their commitment to sustainable design. Hence their involvement with ecopod. We hope you will agree that the ecopod e1 takes recycling to the next level.

As the ecopod e1 was being developed, we met with Williams-Sonoma in San Francisco to request representation of the ecopod in their stores, catalog and internet. They embraced the ecopod and quickly committed to introduce the ecopod. As the world's premier retailer in their category, Williams-Sonoma offers ecopod the opportunity to touch millions of people across the United States. Our product launch with Williams-Sonoma will occur in December, 2006.
