OUR
STORY
Plushi is an online, zero waste, vegan sushi experiment born in Cape Town, South Africa
Through experimentation with vegan and asian cuisine, our aim is to uncover the very best plant based sushi whilst minimising all impact on our planet
We release one new mystery roll every new season containing an ingredient or combination of flavours that have not yet been explored
Plushi stems from a love for sushi, culinary experimentation and sustainability
OUR
ETHOS
FISH-FREE
We’ve created a plant-based sushi alternative to help rebalance our fish populations and fight climate change by strengthening our ocean ecosystem
PLASTIC-FREE
Every piece of plastic ever created still exists today... and large portion of which already exists in, or has a high chance of eventually ending up in, our ocean - where it will break down into micro-plastics and remain forever polluting the eco-system
We use a lot of PLA in our packaging which is a moisture proof lining made entirely from plant based materials. We acknowledge this invention has its downfalls, most notably the inability to recycle and its tendency to spoil entire batches of recycling due to being mistaken for other plastic coated paper materials
As a company we base our packaging decision off what will happen if our packaging ever ends up in the ocean. With paper packaging coated in PLA we know it will eventually biodegrade and leave no trace.
WASTE-FREE
We are zero-waste meaning we do not contribute to landfills. We recycle recyclables, compost food waste and eco-brick our non-recyclables
