Our Story


Dhruv Boruah, founder of The Thames Project, has had great success in raising awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution. Awareness is great but we need solutions. He is increasingly frustrated talking about the dangers of plastic pollution. This is why he is forming teams to run this “Plastic Hackathon” to look for solutions and build a community of people that can change the world. He does not have all the skills to find these solutions so he seeks your help. Together we must solve “plastic pollution” for our families, our friends, our communities, our colleagues and our planet; before it is too late.
