Brabantia is making a stand against plastic pollution by signing a pledge with Dutch water bottle brand Dopper to go PET-free. The company is introducing re-usable water bottles for its 1,000 staff around the world.
At Brabantia’s UK headquarters in Nalisea, all 58 employees have been given a reusable Dopper bottle so they have no need for single-use plastic water bottles.
This new company-wide initiative supports Brabantia’s vision to help reduce the eight million tons of plastic waste that ends up in the world’s oceans every year, much of which consists of single-use plastic (PET) bottles.
UK commercial director David Slater commented on Brabantia’s new PET-free workspace: “This collaboration with Dopper has removed all single use PET water bottles from our workspace, making them a thing of the past. Our partnership with Dopper further strengthens our mission of wanting to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.”
Brabantia continues to put sustainability high on its agenda across business practices and product design. Its partnerships include working alongside WeForest in tree planting to reduce global warming and The Ocean Cleanup in its mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic waste.
The company’s latest charity initiative is with The Hunger Project: donating funds for the training of one person for every Brabantia storage jar sold.
