Sustainability
Make Waves is an idiom. It’s disruptive, it’s a statement of intent. We encourage you to be active in mind and body, promoting a mindset in your community to live more and use less. Providing products that are built to last, minimising consumption and maximising life.
At Make Waves, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. That means using the most sustainable materials, manufacturing processes and ingredients, to create products that have a little impact on the environment as possible. But what does that mean in practice?
100% UK made
Truly local supply chain
Our supply chain is entirely UK based, meaning we manufacture everything locally to serve local customers. That includes the applicators, the refills, the deodorants, the packaging, the inserts. Everything.
Shared values
Sustainable partners
Our partners are either B-Corp accredited or are actively focused on sustainable solutions - including operating on renewable energy, effectively managing and minimising waste in production, and actively promoting a culture of sustainability.
Altogether, this ensures that we have one of the lowest carbon footprints on the market.
1% for the planet member
Investing in a greener future
We’re a proud member of 1% for the Planet (and have been since before we launched). Having a truly sustainable business is one thing, but actively investing in protecting our environment too is even better.
Fully recycled, fully recyclable
Low impact materials
Our refills are made from 100% recycled plastic (that is 100% recyclable, all within the UK) that has been given a new lease of life. They add absolutely no new material to the world. There is an abundance of plastic in existence today, that if not put to use and kept within a recycling loop, will end up straight in landfill or worse, the ocean. And so we set about putting it to good use! Check out our blog post for more info:
Kind to you and our planet
Carefully curated ingredients
Our formulations are the sum of carefully curated ingredients, sourced from environmentally conscious suppliers that focus on performance whilst promoting great skin health. All products are vegan friendly and cruelty, alcohol, paraben and phthalate free.
Nothing should be disposable
Built to last
Our elegant applicators are built to stand out (proudly so), but more importantly, to stand the test of time.
Buy once, and use for life. It's really that simple.
Every day and every body is different
Making sustainability inclusive
As a brand we recognise that every body and every day is different, and that sweat is a very personal choice, so we offer both antiperspirant and deodorant formulations - both packed with premium natural ingredients. Truly making sustainable deodorant an inclusive club!
