100% plastic-free

In today's society, we have become excessive in our use of plastic. And especially disposable plastic. We pack everything in it, even a single cucumber! That's really not necessary, is it? The problem will not solve itself. Not even with new variants such as bio-plastic. The only real solution is plastic-free. We are proud to say that our products do not contain an ounce of plastic. By doing so, we help the planet (and you) with a better environment and healthier (drinking) water. We want to get rid of plastic packaging and want 100% plastic-free to become the norm. Will you join #TeamPlasticFree?

Why is plastic such a problem?

Plastic is a multi-faceted problem. The way it is made, how it is disposed of and what happens to it afterwards needs to change dramatically.

5 trillion pieces of

plastic are now floating in our beautiful seas and oceans.

Only 9%

of all plastic is recycled.

9 out of 10 fish

have or ingest microplastics according to various global studies.

40,000 pieces of

microplastics are ingested by humans every week. That's enough to make a bank card!

More than 40%

of the total plastic consumption comes from product packaging.

The production of plastic

Plastic is made using huge amounts of oil or natural gas and energy. It has an immense ecological footprint, with a major impact on the planet. On average, the initial production process produces around 6 kg of CO2 per 1 kg of plastic! During the production process of plastic, an immense demand is also made on the supply of limited globally accessible and usable water. Water that would be better used as drinking water.

Throwing away plastic

Once your shampoo bottle has been used, you throw away your plastic bottle. Only 9% of the plastic thrown away is recycled. Worldwide, we produce about 300 million tonnes of plastic every year. Of this, 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the ocean every year through landfill or improper disposal. That's a full dump truck every minute of the day...

Microplastics

And after the plastic is dumped into the ocean, in the most ideal circumstances, it takes hundreds of years before your plastic shampoo bottle starts to degrade. So all the plastic that has ever been produced is still floating around somewhere on earth. The dumped plastic is not broken down. It breaks down into tiny pieces of plastic: microplastics. These microplastics are everywhere. They penetrate (drinking) water and traces of them have been found in almost all fish species. We were shocked by these facts and decided to take action. We have one goal in mind: to make 100% plastic-free and natural personal care products accessible to everyone. Because that is how we make a real impact.
