<\/a><\/p>\nFull Circle’s philosophy is “A life cycle”.<\/p>\n
Every product in our homes has one – from a scrub brush to a sponge. They’re designed and manufactured, serve out their purpose, get old and are thrown away. In Australia alone, if one scrub brush per household gets thrown out every year, that’s about 8 million brushes ending up in the garbage.<\/p>\n
And many of them are plastic (petroleum-based plastic) which means it takes about 1000 years before they start to break down.<\/p>\n
But what if there was a scrub brush made from sustainable, biodegradable materials? One that would eventually break back down into those same biodegradable materials? And what if it was made in a factory with great working conditions and higher environmental standards? And what if it was ergonomic, worked great, and looked terrific in your home?<\/p>\n
Full Circle’s environmental awareness extends to the following:<\/p>\n
– Sources raw materials close to where all of the processes and packaging is done – minimizing transportation;<\/p>\n
– Ensuring scraps and waste materials are recycled;<\/p>\n
– Using recycled and FSC certified paper for marketing materials and packaging;<\/p>\n
– Auditing their factories according to: fair labor practices, health & safety, compensation & work hours, environmental conditions including air, water and waste disposal.<\/p>\n
