OUR MISSION
At , we're setting out to redefine the future of plastics as we know it.
Through bespoke design and research and development, we aim to challenge the norms of conventional plastics by creating smarter, sustainable alternatives. Through harnessing the by-product of hemp and combining this with innovative plant-based biopolymers, we aim to transform everyday plastics into everyday products,
better serving our environment and our values.
OUR COMPOSITE
Plastics, Reimagined.Sustainable materials. Smarter design. A future beyond conventional plastics—powered by hemp and innovation.

From plant to pellet and back again
We harness the full lifecycle of the hemp plant—from seed to soil—repurposing its stalks into a high-performance material for use in injection moulding applications. At the end of a product's useful life, it doesn’t require industrial recycling or desposal. Instead, it can be composted under the right conditions, naturally breaking down and returning valuable nutrients to the soil—completing a fully circular, low-impact cycle.
Efficient and regenerative, as it should be.
Sustainable

Paddock to PELLET
and back again
Here at , we believe in sustainability and innovation and doing our part for the environment, however big or small. We're committed to using plant-based materials to reimagine everyday products—making them durable, reusable, and designed with a clear end-of-life—for the environment, not landfill.

OUR STORY
We—Jack, Kate, and Rhys—grew up on the East Coast of New Zealand, spanning Hawke’s Bay to Tolaga Bay. Surrounded and deeply connected to agriculture and horticulture, our journey began with our first attempt at growing hemp, and tapping into the rapidly expanding seed and oil industry. Nature however, had other plans—like the birds and the bees—and all that was left was a paddock of stalks. Instead of seeing this as a setback, we saw it as an opportunity.
Driven by curiosity and trusting our gut, we explored new possibilities for hemp. From what was left of the crop, we created something remarkable—Storx was born.
Meet The Team
Born and bred in Hawkes Bay, it was easy for Jack to be surrounded by a rural setting. After being shipped over to boarding school in Sydney Australia to complete his high school years, Jack then headed further abroad to travel parts of South Africa for several months, before returning to New Zealand. Jack’s professional background is in sales, starting out as the youngest commercial real estate broker in the country. After an introduction from a friend to Hemp in 2018, Jack became inherently curious about hemp’s capabilities and how it could be used to replace everyday items, which were so often used and disregarded in the corporate sector. Plenty of research, trial & error, and nature’s way since then, the Storx journey began.
Kate comes from a background of mixed cropping, sheep, and beef farming on the East Coast of the North Island, outside the small township of Tolaga Bay. Following boarding school far from home, Kate set off to study a BSc at the University of Canterbury, with a focus on Environmental Science having a passion for both agriculture and sustainability. Following university and some intermittent travel, Kate’s career has ranged from local government through to the private industry and consulting, and more recently moving into a regional economic development role in Hawkes Bay. Kate’s involvement with hemp stemmed from Jack’s keen interest and continuous lectures about the untapped opportunities that this miracle plant provides.
