Dunsel’s was founded by Jon Virga (’21) and William McCarthy (’21), who were on a mission to prove that business could be a force for good through the reduction of plastic pollution making its way to the oceans. The founders drew inspiration from their seafaring passions, sailing and surfing respectively, to address one of the world’s most pressing environmental problems. Dunsel’s developed a way to bring a second life to discarded sailboat sails by turning them into bags. The material is naturally suited for its new life as it is both highly durable stylish. The founders continue to work on keeping this material from ever reaching the ocean, and hope to develop new ways to derive value from our waste in the future.
