“We are thrilled to collaborate with Plastic Bank and to make a measurable difference in the lives of families as well as the oceans and our environment. It’s so exciting to join them as the first infant feeding brand partner, and what better way to begin working together than with our mostpopular product, the Anti-Colic Options+ baby bottle, and brand-new product line, Dr. Brown’s CleanUp (TM) baby bath essentials.”
Christy Pogorelac
Vice President & Chief Product Officer, Handi-Craft Company
“We already know we need to reduce single-plastic use and take part in beach clean-ups. But to truly have an impact, we also need to create a long-term recycling infrastructure that collects plastic before it enters our ocean in the first place. We created Ocean Bottle to make it easier for people everywhere to stop plastic getting into our seas. We believe we can achieve this through a combination of our plastic collection model and careful product design: if we want people to refill their Ocean Bottle every day and keep it forever, it needs to be high quality and a joy to use, so we’ve worked hard to make that happen.”
William Pearson
Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Ocean Bottle
“As a small but rapidly growing consumer goods business, we don’t have the resources to manage our impact initiatives in-house. Our partnership with Plastic Bank allows us to focus on what we’re good at – inventing globe-changing products – while at the same time having a tremendously positive environmental and social impact”
Lachlan Hill
Co-Founder – Head of Product & Impact, Tirtyl
“Together with our online partners and Plastic Bank, we want to set an example against plastic waste and drive sustainability.
