Removing twice as much plastic from nature as we use.
That Is Our Plastic Negative Promise.
Our mission is to help more people look, feel and do their best by infusing their skincare - and their lives - with a healthy dose of the great outdoors, while ensuring our business leaves no trace. Becoming Plastic Negative with rePurpose Global is an important step in furthering our commitment to making a net positive contribution to people and the planet.
How It Works
1. Measure
Ursa Major Skincare donates a percentage of every product purchase to fund the collection of 26,130 kgs of low-value PP plastic waste from oceans and landfills every year.
2. Compensate
Low-value plastic is collected, processed, and reused by TakaTaka Solutions - a waste management service in Kenya that employs and empowers waste pickers to tackle plastic waste.
3. Reduce
Ursa Major Skincare will work with rePurpose Global to reduce the future use of virgin plastics in their products and build a more circular business and delivery model for their company.
