Our Vison
To create a zero-waste circular economy.
Our Mission
At Purple Turtle Co we aim to synergise nature with human behaviour, through collaboration, education and innovation. By creating a platform for sustainability we believe we can solve the world’s sustainability problems and protect the environment.
Our Philosophy
We are a new start up organisation run completely by volunteers, with the sole purpose of trying to solve the single use plastic crisis and protect our oceans.
Our philosophy is simple. In order to solve the plastic waste crisis we must execute a 3 step strategy.
1 - Educate society.
2. - Provide the tools.
To support consumers and businesses to get to a zero-waste operation and lifestyle. We do this through a dedicated team of product designers and engineers, creating innovative products that will provide solutions to single use problems.
3 - Waste Management Solutions
The final piece of the puzzle is then coming up with waste management solutions to deal with the plastic that we are unable to remove from the economy. Introducing new technology and processes to ensure a circular economy is achieved and the plastic we produce as a planet is used the most sustainable and efficient way.
We currently have over 30 volunteers working for us in different areas such as product design, engineering, content writing, social media management, SEO, investments and marketing. The idea of our organisation is to create a social enterprise whereby passionate likeminded people can come together and contribute real change within the plastic sustainability space.
Currently we are focused heaviliy on phase 1 of our stragey, education. Over the past 6 months we have built a online social media following of over 30,000 people, and have brought thousends of visitors to our website to read content and articles.
We currently have a team of 17 designers, researchers and engineers working on developing 2 new products to come to market. These products are focused on innovating the way we shower and how we brush out teeth, with the sole purpose of removing the need for plastic packaging for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste.
Our next phase which is why we are registering with 'reachvolunteering' is to help further with our 'provide the tools' strategy and start making work on the 'waste management solutions'.
