Two Davids and a turtle

We're Daniel and Sebastian, co-founders of Kura Kura GmbH. Daniel is a marketing and business professional, and Sebastian, a scientist and environmental policy diplomat. The common “why” and the empathy for  Captain Planet connected us.

Our common issue (David versus Goliath)

There will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. The global plastic pollution crisis seems daunting and overwhelming. It’s become Goliath.                                              

We ingest an equivalent of a credit card of plastic each week. The threat to environmental and animal health has now reached humans. It’s threatening David.

Our "why" (calling Captain Planet)

We believe in the power of the individual, as David can bring down Goliath. We are here to mobilize the Davids, the more we are, the stronger we'll become. It’s like calling Captain Planet.

Our approach

We want to leverage action. That’s why we tackle the issue at the beginning where plastic is consumed. The tourism industry is making Goliath stronger. At the same time, accommodation providers can be part of the solution by offering sustainable options to its guests, the Davids.

We’re all travelers, and so, Davids will have a choice to make for their next destination. Is it going to be plastic or blue? Together with our pioneer hotels, we offer plastic-free nights.

Our partner

We work with our international partner, with whom we share a common vision. We recycle or eliminate where plastic ends up. Together with our partner, we clean the ocean.

Our symbol

Southeast Asia has emerged as a hot spot for plastic pollution. “Kura Kura” means sea turtle in Indonesian. Kura Kura is our symbol for a win over Goliath.

 

We are a start-up founded in the heart of the Swiss Alps. We are acting locally, with a global ambition and worldwide impact. We call on all types of hotels, in Switzerland and Indonesia alike, to join the BlueHotel Initiative. Become a blue kura kura.
