Sustainability & materials

A more sustainable future, built on better materials.

We treat sustainability as an evidence discipline, not a marketing adjective. This page separates what we can verify today from what we are still working towards.

What we can verify today

  • Confirmed origin and materials for each approved Launch Collection product
  • Clear product status: available, in development or planned
  • Supplier and manufacturer disclosure where appropriate
  • Real delivery, returns and customer-support information
  • Environmental claims only where evidence exists

What we are working towards

  • Higher hemp-content materials
  • Reduced reliance on conventional plastics where technically viable
  • UK sourcing and future manufacturing where commercially feasible
  • Replaceable and modular product design
  • Better end-of-life routes supported by testing
  • Measurement and reporting of material and environmental impact

Our green-claims guardrail

We will not use any of these claims about a product until we hold evidence for that exact product and material.

Not published without evidence

  • 100% biodegradable
  • Compostable
  • Home compostable
  • Plastic-free
  • Antibacterial
  • Antimicrobial
  • Carbon neutral
  • Zero waste
  • UK-made
  • Made from UK-grown hemp
  • Patented
  • Specific CO₂ or plastic savings

How a claim becomes publishable

  1. Step 1: Define the exact claim

  2. Step 2: Identify the evidence needed

  3. Step 3: Verify the exact product or material

  4. Step 4: Record the source and test

  5. Step 5: Publish with appropriate qualification

Future impact reporting

As our products mature, we intend to report on each of these areas.

  • Material inputs

    What materials, and in what percentages?
  • Product lifespan

    How long does the product realistically last?
  • Transport

    Where do materials and products travel from?
  • Manufacturing

    What processes and energy inputs are used?
  • End of life

    What happens in realistic disposal conditions?

Our principle

Honesty is part of sustainability.

If the evidence changes, this website changes. If a material has limitations, we explain them. Transparency is more credible than broad environmental promises.
