Mojca Zupan’s story at the Plastic Health Summit

The passionate team behind PlanetCare
Every great mission is powered by people: passionate, dedicated, and driven by a vision for a better world. From environmental scientists to passionate activists, our team is united by one mission: a microplastic-free world. Get to know the dedicated individuals who make up the heart and soul of PlanetCare.

R&D Engineer
LENCHE GJORGJIOSKI
She finished her masters in mechanical engineering and is our R&D engineer, responsible for mechanical design of the products and solving problems connected with the construction of the filters. Pretty complex, huh? Her other full-time role is that of a mother of two. Two small kids. So talking with Lenche about leisure time is for her more of an unknown subject, but she looks forward to do more travelling again:)

Lab Research Analyst
KATKA TURK
Katka joined our team for a summer internship and then she hasn't left. She also works in our lab. She studies chemical engineering and is determined to apply her knowledge to save the planet. When not in our lab she can be found bicycling to her gymnastics trainings or somewhere out of the city. Friends, family and nature. Not necessarily in that order.

Lab Research Analyst
NINA NEMEC
She runs the tests in our lab. One laundry after the other, one filter after another, this cartridge, that cartridge – she detects the smallest of differences, compare the results and analyze them. So that as a result we have the best and most efficient filters there are. Proven! She is an environmental engineer who chose not to live in the urban environment, with a powerful love for mountains and books.

CAD Constructor
DAVID PLANINŠEK
He's responsible for mechanical design. And also, if there is anything to assemble or to repair - he's the guy! Would you like to guess what he does in his spare time? Well, of course - he builds stuff in a shed ! Or searches the internet for anything science. So, naturally, he'd enroll in two colleges after high school – mechanical engineering and physics, but decided to dedicate most of his time to our microfibre free future!

Chief Marketing Officer
DUŠAN MATIČIČ
Not your typical marketing guy, Dušan is a geography professor with a bachelor's in sociology of culture. His shift into marketing came naturally after years at a financial newspaper. As a passionate windsurfer and kitesurfer, he witnessed microplastic pollution firsthand on the waves of the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Greek beaches with his family. And to top it off, he’s also a specialty coffee roaster!

The Brand Person
MARJANA LAVRIČ ŠULMAN
She is passionate about people, brands and organisations doing the right thing. She believes that to be kind to the people and to the planet is the ultimate answer to a better world. Her spare time? She can totally relate to Cicero's quote that a room without books is like a body without a soul. When not reading, she spends her time with the family, preferably outdoors. She likes to refer to nature as to her religion.

E-commerce Marketing Manager
KLAVDIJA PAVLOVSKI
She has graduated in Business Administration and Econonomics, and specialised in marketing. The digital technologies have been her passion since… forever. Curious by default, she is the definition of a self-learning enthusiast. Plus - every meaningful course or workshope there was – she took it. When she is not experimenting with the latest trends, she hikes (take that, Kilimanjaro!), travels, and enjoys nature in general.
