This week, I spoke to Derin Oyekan, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Reel, an eco-friendly paper brand. Reel specializes in toilet paper and paper towels made of 100% bamboo. These products are the most sustainable and eco-friendly paper products on the market.

Reel is more than a paper company; it is on a mission to give American households a way to reduce their carbon footprints and help others worldwide eliminate the threat of illness posed by a lack of access to toilets while promoting the use of earth-friendly, sustainable paper products. A portion of all their proceeds go to their partner SOIL, nonprofit research and development organization working in Haiti to design, test, and implement sustainable and cost-effective solutions to the sanitation crisis.

Derin has over 18 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur and highly sought-after growth marketer; his skills and knowledge have contributed to the success of Reel in a short timeframe.
