The Stardust Story - Born in a Garage.

Our benevolent and industrious founder started growing his own food at the age of 9. The connection that Peter Murray felt to the earth as a young gardener, and then later as a skier and landscape architect was paramount. Stardust was born of that connection, further catalyzed through the eyes of his son Matt who witnessed the massive and devastating piles of plastic bags marooned on otherwise gorgeous beaches.

At Stardust Sustainables our mission is simple but important; Substantially reduce the amount of plastic bags being made daily to the betterment of the earth and all of its inhabitants.

Offering the most sustainable option on the market

So what is the answer if it’s not plastic? If we look around the natural world the answers are already there, we don’t even have to create something that doesn’t already exist in nature. What Stardust found was a plant that was indispensable to many countries..Jute!

Jute is an ancient textile that’s been used in the world since the beginning of time. We have been able to refine and weave it into a fabric that is beautiful and strong. Jute grows without the use of fertilizers and pesticides and only relies on natural rainfall. It also absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen much faster than trees. This makes Jute one of the most sustainable crops on earth.
