Saying I'm proud of my team is an understatement.

It's been an explosive start to the year for us at Critical. and our kaimahi had to solve so a million problems on the fly from engineering upgrades to new material science discoveries, to process improvements ... all the while having to balance a non stop production line and the growing demand for Cleanstone.

And it's felt like that every week we're uncovering new scientific discoveries.

Every week the quality of our products get better and better.

I mean, look at how sexy these Cleanstone look now, and they are just a few of the ones that came out in a single day.

Yes, I'm bragging about the incredible mahi my dedicated team does every day and I'm grateful to journey alongside these guys (couldn't take a photo of everyone!)

I love the analogy of Critical. being a double haul waka, sailing into new waters each day.

These fullas are brave, hardworking and dedicated to help solve 2 of the most existential crises of our generation - climate change and plastics pollution.

I couldn't ask for more.
