Back to the Office, Differently.
Suited-Up, but Plastic-Free.

We want to raise awareness of single-use plastic in the fashion aftercare industry.

As we dust off our suits to go back to the office, we want things to change. 

We have a collective responsibility to help accelerate the transition to a greener, plastic-free economy for all. 

Every choice we make is a vote we cast.

We, as businesses, institutions, citizens and governments have the power to create

a better, smarter future. It’s time to end disposable culture.

The challenge we face

The fashion aftercare industry sends 36.5 million meters of single-use plastic to landfill.

Every year, in the UK alone!

It's time to change!
