Imagine a world free from microplastics where our planet thrives. At Grale, we’re not just imagining it, we’re building it.

Plastics are made from petroleum and remain in our environment for thousands of years, while microplastics have already found

their way into our oceans, food, and even our bodies. By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. We’re here to

change that, and we’re looking for passionate people to join us.

We are interviewing continuously with the aim of filling the position as soon as possible. Apply today to join a team shaping a

sustainable future! 🌱
