Asher Hunt, co-founder of Bite
Bite is focusing on removing plastic waste from home hygiene products, and co-founder Asher Hunt explains how their toothpaste tablet was invented. People discard over one billion toothpaste tubes per year, and due to the foil-lined plastic, it can’t be recycled. It greatly concerned CEO Lindsay McCormick nuts, so she set out to make an alternative for herself and her friends. She had no idea it would catch on.
As a designer, everything changed when Hunt created a well-designed website and a video went viral. The viral moment came when they pitched their connection in Women’s Health Magazine and they requested a video. That video ended up going viral and they suddenly were overwhelmed by orders.
