In this interview I had the pleasure of speaking to Kyle Rossin, co-founder of MANG. We explore the concept of MANG and educate on the importance and functionality of mangroves. I love what this company represents and their mission to plant mangroves around the world. They support their local community through outreach and partnerships with non-profits to encourage others to plant more mangroves. This company has a great business model that is leading the way in sustainable production and social entrepreneurship. Support MANG: www.manggear.com and on Instagram: @manggear
---------------
In 2015, twin brothers Keith and Kyle Rossin came together with one mission in mind – to change the world one mangrove at a time. This mission was cultivated through a passion for the environment and coastal communities around the world. The twins needed a means to fund this mission and thus MANG was born. MANG is a high-performance apparel company that plants one mangrove for every product sold. The Buy One. Plant One.® initiative is more than just planting mangroves. It’s about preserving and restoring coastal habitats and communities.
