First – what is sustainability?
“An action that can be repeated that doesn’t deplete natural resources or disturb ecological balance.”
We believe it’s simple — the beginning of life and end of life for the product need to have as little environmental impact as possible. That means using renewable, carbon neutral feedstocks, and zero waste end of life.
Linear vs Circular Economy
In the Linear Economy, products are designed and manufactured to become waste. These companies know their products will end up in landfills and oceans, but have no plan to solve the problem.
Dangerous Production
Releases greenhouse gases and carcinogens.
Toxic Manufacturing
Steel bottles cost 1,746% more energy.
Wasteful Distribution
Massive petroluem fueled overseas shipping.
Greenwashed Recycling
No curbside pickup or local recycling options.

Accounting for the whole circular economy
Sustainability isn’t just “what the product is made of” – it’s the whole process of making raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, and where products go at their end of life.
