Proof that Gulf Coast tradition and environmental responsibility can coexist.

Every parade season, the beads win — and lose.

Each Mardi Gras season, krewes throw massive quantities of single-use plastic beads from floats — and much of it ends up in landfills and local waterways instead of around someone's neck. TOSS Inc. exists to close that gap.

We've partnered with Louisiana State University's PlantMe Beads program to supply biodegradable throw alternatives to krewes and parade organizations across the Gulf Coast, free of charge — making the sustainable choice as easy to grab as the plastic one. TOSS Inc. runs entirely on donations, because we think Gulf Coast tradition and environmental responsibility can share a float.
