Hello! I'm Melo Mtombeni, founder of South African Futurist. At SAFuturist, we believe that the future is in all our hands. The modern connected world faces challenges of no access to clean water, energy, basic education, climate change and inequality. We fully encourage all efforts at solving these problems using science, technology and the inexhaustible human will. 

Every day, around 8 million pieces of plastic pollution enter our oceans and destroy the ecosystems within. These macro and microplastics weigh up to 270 000 tonnes, making up to 60 to 90% of all marine debris. The philosophy of SAFuturist is sustainability. We aim to create good quality products from recycled PET-G (Glycol modified Polyethylene Teraphthalate) plastic found in drink and water bottles. The more plastic we can get off the streets, dumps and rivers, the cleaner our environment will be.
