PLASTIC IS NONSENSE
Our Story
I started this business with one simple idea.
To change the way people look at their recycling.
​
Ever since I can remember ​​I was taught to rinse my food containers, remove lids from bottles, and separate household waste with such scrutiny all to make recycling easier.
But what really happens after we wheel our recycling bins to the kerb?
Where does that mountain of plastic actually go?
Most of us simply trust that it's collected, sorted, and transformed into new products, but how much do we really know about the journey our recycling takes once it leaves our hands?
​​
In my final year of university I decided that enough was enough and so I started collecting the bottles that littered my street but while sorting them I couldn't help but wonder where all of it was going.
​
As a small independent business, we are dedicated to making a difference as we grow, with the goal to change peoples minds about their recycling.
Join us in creating a cleaner, greener world.
One candle at a time.

​
By giving back to the community, we strive to make a positive impact and inspire others to join us on our journey.​​
​
Each and every one of us takes recycling for granted.
It's such a small act that has a severe impact globally.
Have you ever stopped to consider what actually happens to our recycling once it has been taken away? and do you really trust that every piece of plastic that we part ways with actually gets recycled...​
​

Reduce
Our aim is to reduce the amount of plastic bottles you see in the streets of London on a daily basis.
​
By collecting as many bottles as possible, we reduce the harm we cause to our environment.
​
Something that we have sadly become so used to seeing.
Recycle
We put all of our bottles through an extensive cleaning process before and after using them. ​
​
After we have finished using them, we clean them before breaking them down ready for recycling.
This allows us to separate them and dispose of them in a more sustainable and creative ways.
Giving them a sense of new life before they are repurposed.

Throughout the growth of our brand we hope to partner with some innovative people and their companies already repurposing recycled goods because together we can make an even bigger difference.
