Took our new candle out for a spin last night at the mHUB Demo Day. Aeternal Upcycling made that wax out of plastic bags, and as you can see it makes a pretty great candle.

As I said at mHUB last night, we're starting a $2.5M pre-seed round to build our team, develop product prototypes, and scale up our operations. Thanks Elizabeth Andrews for the introduction! Come join Aeternal Upcycling and my co-founder Ryan Hackler as we make a more sustainable future through plastic upcycling. https://lnkd.in/gtbPbGnk
