Notes on Nature

Zero-waste and 100% guaranteed to look great on any sink, your refill ritual just got shinier. Introducing our brand new aluminium Refill-a-bottle – also known as the last bottle you’ll ever need to buy. 

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again and again and again: refill means less landfill. That’s why our bigger, plastic-busting bottles have been around for decades. And now, alongside our 5L and 20L options, there’s a new bottle on the block. 

Knowing what’s best for you and the planet can be big and confusing. But over the years we’ve found that a simple question helps guide us: ‘What would nature say?’

Starting a refill routine is a super easy way of cutting our plastic footprint. It’s also super fun and lo-fi. You know how it goes: Take your empties to your local refill station, fill them up, take them home and use them, repeat. Just like we’ve been doing since the 70s. Only now it goes a little bit different because — together with Embargo — we’re dragging refill into the 21st century. Still charming, still fun… but money saving too!

We’re planting a forest and we want you to join us. Actually, we hope to replant many forests. To restore lost ecosystems. To support local communities. And to make giving back to nature as normal as buying your favourite shampoo. Thanks to our friends at TreeSisters - you can plant a tree every time you shop online with us. 

At this time of year, when everything starts feeling festive, and thoughts turn to outdoing last year’s pile of gifts, it’s easy to forget what really brings us joy. This is your reminder that all that ‘stuff’ doesn’t really matter. But what does is the natural world.

It might surprise you that we’ve been sponsoring a football club for three years now. Why? Because the one we sponsor, Forest Green Rovers, is top of the league (of sustainability)!

47 years is a long time to keep going. Especially when, for so much of that time, natural has meant niche. Or nuts, even.

Notes On Nature is a place where we’ll be sharing our semi-regular musings on all things… nature.
