Why Planet Made Will Never Use Virgin Plastics or Plastic Packaging
At Planet Made, our mission is clear: to reduce environmental harm by offering genuinely sustainable products that never rely on virgin plastics or plastic packaging.
This commitment began during a university project, where I worked alongside a major logistics firm. It opened my eyes to the sheer volume of plastic waste generated by large-scale commercial operations. Products were frequently triple-wrapped in plastic—bags within bags within even more bags—simply for cost efficiency and ease of handling.
I found it frustrating and deeply unnecessary. These companies showed little concern for the environmental impact of their practices.
After researching the UK’s plastic packaging tax, I quickly realised that this legislation wasn’t enough to drive meaningful change within large businesses. It became clear that if I wanted to make a difference, I’d have to do it myself.
That’s how Planet Made was born.
A Plastic-Free Promise
Planet Made was founded on the belief that it shouldn’t be difficult to shop sustainably. You deserve to buy from a business that takes action to protect the environment—not harm it.
That’s why our promise is simple and non-negotiable:

This isn’t a marketing gimmick. Our dedication to eco-friendly packaging and sustainable product design runs deep. From the materials we source to how we ship your order, our goal is to eliminate waste at every step.
And as we grow, we’ll continue to push for better. Because at Planet Made, we believe real sustainability means transparency, consistency, and always putting the planet first.
