Mountain just released their Everest Keyboard series on Kickstarter in March and now announces a new partnership with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise that offers an internationally recognized root cause solution to preventing ocean plastic pollution. Ocean plastic is a global crisis, with the equivalent of one dump truck load of plastic every minute entering the world's oceans, mainly from Asian countries.¹ At the same time, many communities affected by plastic pollution face high levels of poverty. Plastic Bank is empowering the world to stop ocean plastic. Plastic Bank builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities, and reprocesses the materials for reintroduction into the global manufacturing supply chain.

"In this day and age everybody should think about our environment and what can be done to protect it.", said Tobias Brinkmann, CEO & Founder of Mountain. "We take our social responsibility very seriously and aim to do our part in preserving our precious planet. Minimizing the environmental impact of the production and distribution of each Everest keyboard played a large part in our design philosophy."
