OUR MISSION
At ™, we're setting out to redefine the future of plastics as we know it. Through bespoke design and years of research and development, we aim to challenge the norms of conventional plastics by creating better, sustainable alternatives. By harnessing the by-product of hemp, and combining this with durable plant-based biopolymers, we aim to transform everyday plastics into everyday products - better serving our environment, and values.
ON PRE-ORDER
OUR COMPOSITE
Plastics, reimagined.
A future beyond conventional plastics, powered by plants and innovation.
We harness the by-product of the hemp plant- repurposing its stalks into a high-performance material for use in injection molding applications. At the end of the product's useful life, it doesn’t require industrial recycling, or waste disposal. Instead, it can naturally regenerate in soil.
A circular, low-impact life cycle.
At Storx™, we believe in sustainability, 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, purpose-built, and designed with an obvious 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 kiwi ingenuity, we explored new possibilities for hemp. From what was left of the crop, we created something remarkable- and Storx™ was born.
Meet The Team
Born and bred in Hawkes Bay, it was easy for Jack to be surrounded by a rural setting. Jack’s professional background is in sales, starting out as the youngest commercial real estate broker in the country. After an introduction to hemp in 2018, Jack became inherently curious about hemp’s capabilities and how it could be used as a raw ingredient to bioplastic applications, seeing how conventional materials are so often used and disregarded in the corporate sector. Countless hours of research, collaboration and trial & error, Jack has inherently lead Storx to where it is today.

Kate Jefferd
Operations Director
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. With a degree and passion for Environmental Science and combined interest in agriculture and innovation, Kate's interest in exploring non-conventional applications and sustainable materials has helped lead Storx on the journey it's on today.
Brought up on a farm in Porongahau, Hawkes Bay, and later studying at Otago University, Rhys worked in design and operations before becoming a skilled draftsman for architectural metal works. After extensive travel through Europe and the middle east, Rhys gained his building certification and soon established his own building company, all while taking on the creative challenges and practical know how for Storx.
