After a global search, the finalists for the Tom Ford Plastic Innovation Prize are in.

They are Genecis, Kelpi, Lwanda Biotech, Marea, Notpla, Sway, Xampla, and Zerocircle.

Each was selected for their remarkable alternatives to thin-film plastic polybags without compromising style.

The CFDA Chairman and designer, in partnership with Lonely Whale, brought together an esteemed panel of judges in order to help fund an innovative solution to the mounting plastic waste crisis. Prize judges include Don Cheadle, Stella McCartney, Susan Rockefeller, Livia Firth, Trudie Styler, Melati Wijsen, Danni Washington, Saskia van Gendt, Audrey Choi, Steven Kolb, Ellen Jackowski and Liz Rodgers.

Ford unveiled the finalists in a film that showcases the scale of the thin-film, plastic pollution problem and how this group of leaders and innovators across industries have come together to find a solution.

“This it the moment,” said Ford. “This is our moment.”

Watch the full film, and congratulations to the finalists!
