Our Sustainability Strategy
2.7 Million Pela Products
More than two million people have switched to Pela, which equates to 830,000 pounds of plastic that was prevented from entering the waste stream. It’s a great start and going forward, we hope to create bigger impact with the support of our community.
10 Billion Pounds of Waste
Our goal is to remove 10 billion pounds of waste from the waste stream by 2028. It's ambitious but with the support we've been getting from our community, and the help and awareness being built by our partners, this goal is a real possibility. We dream of a waste free future and part of that requires us turning off the tap on plastic and food waste entirely.
While the products we design are impactful on their own, we believe good business and doing good are the same thing. We have donated over $1 million to help non-profit/for purpose organizations leave the planet better than how we found it. Here’s a little summary of the impact our community has had so far.
