Sustainability
As a company we believe that everything we do should be done sustainably.
We're a plastic neutral company
What this means is that for every ounce of plastic we use, an ounce of plastic is collected from the environment - and recycled into social plastics - through our partnership with plastic bank.
100% Plastic-free Packaging by the End Of 2022
RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
When it comes to responsible sourcing and production, the folks who work in our factories are just as important to us as long-lasting and sustainable products. We’re Full Circle, after all, meaning that we’re all in this together. Having our factories close to the source of materials we use helps minimize our impact from start to finish. From recycling waste to ensuring safer, happier, greener work environments, we work hard to make sure we’re responsible every step of the way.
Materials
Every material in our products is carefully selected for its durability, giving you more time before each one ends its life cycle. We choose options that take less energy to produce and cut back on greenhouse gases and harmful chemicals, making them as conscientious as they are long lasting.

An old friend you know and love that uses 1/3 of the energy virgin plastic needs for production.

Recycled plastic traceability
We’ve partnered with our manufacturers to integrate traceability into all our recycled plastic products. Every item is on its way to being GRS-certified, and we’ll be able to track the % of post-consumer recycled plastic used in each batch through a patented RFID technology.
BY 2025 ALL PLASTIC USED IN OUR PRODUCTS WILL BE RECYCLED
Designed to last
You shouldn’t have to compromise. That’s why we developed a line of products that are as beautiful as they are balanced, using innovative materials and thoughtful practices. As consumers and creators, we truly believe that even the littlest changes can have a big impact (even if it’s just choosing a better dish brush).
Carbon neutral
We’re carbon neutral - through Pachama we’re offsetting all emissions from international shipping. Our offsets fund projects that help to preserve the rainforest, convert landfill gas to energy, promote energy efficiency at truck stops and build and operate windmills as a source of alternative energy.

Packaging
We like to do things a little differently at Full Circle Home. Instead of excess, expect just enough. Our use of intentional design, earth friendly materials, and responsible practices isn’t just found in our products, it’s incorporated into our sustainable packaging initiatives, too.
-
Small pieces
We’ve eliminated the use of plastic under 2-3” in diameter. Due to their size, they fall through recycling belts, thus ending up in landfills.
-
Film
While some grocery stores may accept plastic films for recycling, most film continues to end up in landfills. Moving forward, all film will be made from a compostable alternative.
-
Paper
Many, if not all, products you see on shelf in a store are packaged with laminated paperboard. We’re replacing 100% of our plastic lamination with a water- based, completely recyclable coating.
