Whitehorse, Yukon Mar 27, 2025 – PRESS RELEASE #1 – PRE-KICKSTARTER LAUNCH
Yukon Plastics Prepares to Launch Groundbreaking Kickstarter Campaign on Earth Day 2025
Yukon Plastics, an innovative, family-operated business in the Canadian subarctic, aims to revolutionize how Canadians perceive waste through its upcoming Kickstarter campaign, launching on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2025. Echoing the day’s global call for environmental action, Yukon Plastics demonstrates that discarded plastic can be repurposed into something valuable. By turning waste into high-quality, everyday items, the company shows how localized innovation can lead to substantial, sustainable change.
Under the campaign’s motto, “Yukon Made. Globally Inspired.”, the company invites supporters across Canada to contribute to a future where waste is utilized effectively. Every contribution to the Kickstarter will enable Yukon Plastics to increase production, introduce new product lines, and position the Yukon as a leader in sustainable innovation. The Yukon, a northern Canadian territory, boasts untouched wilderness, vibrant cultural traditions, and a meaningful way of life.
“Launching on Earth Day is symbolic,” says Janna Swales, who founded Yukon Plastics with her son, Will. “Earth Day is about taking action, and we are actively transforming plastic waste into new products. The North is experiencing rapid change, and we believe those most affected should develop environmental solutions.”
The Kickstarter campaign will showcase a main product selection, unique limited-edition items, bulk discounts for retailers and B2B opportunities for businesses in the hospitality sector–from Airbnbs to large hotels. Supporters will also have the option to visit the Yukon to see the plastic recycling process in person.
Funds raised from this campaign will be invested in increasing our production capacity, enabling us to fulfill orders from retail stockists and expand into B2B markets–offering sustainable solutions to a broader range of businesses. As Janna and Will suggest, ‘Let’s try to run out of waste plastic!’.
Join the movement before the campaign begins by signing up for Kickstarter launch notifications at and joining the mailing list at for early access and a chance to be among the first to support a cleaner Canada.
Embargo in place until April 12th at 9 am PST.
