Guvanch Yalkapovs, a participant in CIE’s StartUp Sedro-Woolley business training and competition, landed on the front page of the Skagit Valley Herald, and we couldn’t be more proud!
Guvanch’s company ECOPRO2 is tackling the problem of plastic straws head-on by manufacturing a better paper straw.
“Yalkapovs said he wanted to help address the problem of plastic pollution in oceans and the threat to marine life while providing cheaper and more durable paper straws than those that were on the market.“
Congratulations, Guvanch, and thanks for letting us be part of your journey.
