Join us in solving a big, serious and truly fascinating problem: litter leaking into nature. We are hiring!

Pirika, Inc. aims to overcome every environmental problem through science and technology.

We started in 2011 as an informal project in a university lab, and became a company the same year.

Among many environmental problems, our first step is litter, especially plastic, leaking into nature. It is said that by 2050 the weight of plastic in the ocean could exceed the weight of fish. There is serious concern about the effects on ecosystems and on humankind.

  • You were once interested in environmental issues, but got busy with daily work and lost touch
  • You have seen the news and are starting to think it is getting really serious
  • Your current work may add to environmental harm, and you feel a conflict about it
  • You learned how big and serious the problem is, and it made you want to take it on

If this sounds like you, please consider applying to Pirika!

We look forward to hearing from you!
