Weighing just 260 kg each, they will fly in very-low-Earth orbit at heights of roughly 550 km, which means that atmospheric drag will pull them down within a few years so they don’t end up as yet more space junk. Powered by ultra-low-carbon biofuel, it will have 86% fewer emissions than a fossil-fuel rocket.
