Johnny had always dreamed of sailing around the world, but in 2018, on a sailing trip from Liverpool to the Isle of Mann, his yacht’s propeller became tangled with plastic waste, forcing an early end to the holiday. This sparked a realization—had it happened in the open sea, it could have been far worse. Determined to make a difference, Johnny set out to develop a construction system that actively reduces plastic waste and textiles in our oceans.

And that’s how StrucLock was born.
