You know I get way too excited when people take waste and turn it into something useful, stylish, and impactful. So naturally, when I saw the awesome work being done by The Green Collective, I had to share it with everyone!
These legends aren’t just talking the talk when it comes to sustainability — they’re out here walking the walk every single day. So let’s break it down, because the numbers alone are worth a double take.
Since 2014, The Green Collective has:
Kept 174 tonnes of waste from ending up in landfill!
Taken over 9 million single-use plastic bags out of circulation. That’s nine million plastic bags that didn’t end up in oceans or blowing down our streets. Mind blown.
Cut down on more than 143,000 plastic sponges — meaning no more microplastics sneaking down your sink. (Your dishes, and the fish, say thank you.)
Saved 17.7 million single-use tissues from being used once and tossed. Who knew tissues could add up like that?
One of my fave things? The Green Collective doesn’t just avoid waste — they repurpose it. They’ve turned the equivalent of three full 4m² skips into their ENCORE bags — and yes, they look good while doing it. They’ve even given 400kg of expired seatbelt straps a second life. That’s a whole lot of functional fashion made from what would’ve been landfill.
In a world full of greenwashing and half-baked promises, The Green Collective is the real deal. They’ve turned sustainability into a practice, not a marketing line. And let me tell you — the planet needs so many more people doing exactly that.
So if you’re looking to support a brand that’s making real, measurable impact and isn’t afraid to get its hands a little dirty in the name of doing better — The Green Collective deserves your love.
