Our Environmental Impact

OUR CORE VALUES

Moon pledge to do more for our environment through carbon reduction and supporting UN recognised climate reducing projects. We are committed to educate and reduce the need for single-use plastics and promote a reusable lifestyle. 

We pledge to encourage community projects which create a positive environmental impact and are working to reduce Moon’s own carbon footprint. 

OUR IMPACT

Every person who switches to a Moon Bottle prevents roughly 156 plastic bottles from being thrown away each year. We're proud of this work but can always do more. We consider it our lifelong task to find new ways to care for our Mother Earth. 

Moon have partnered with ClimatePartner to measure the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of the trusty Moon Bottle, Series 2 Bottle and Travel Mug. In doing so, we’ve been able to set long term targets in reducing these product’s overall carbon footprint and financially supporting a certified climate action project. You can learn more about the projects we support here.

We are committed to collaborating with you, our loyal mooner to be as transparent as possible about our commitments and looking at innovative ways to reduce our overall environmental impact.

KEY MILESTONES

  • We support UN recognised climate action projects, certified according to international standards.
  • The Moon bottles and mugs are Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly.
  • We use manufacturers who pass internationally approved standards, including ISO9001, LFGB and FDA certification as well as undergoing Sedex and BSCI audits to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for employees.
  • Moon contributes to small, local charities on an ongoing basis. We have donated over 500 bottles to schools, businesses and non-profit organisations.
  • We use high-quality materials, and all products are backed with a lifetime guarantee. This reduces waste by encouraging people to buy for life.
  • We package all orders in 100% fully compostable mailer bags and recyclable hex wrap.
  • Alongside Amazon, we donate Moon bottles to selected charities as part of the FBA donations programme.
  • Moon dedicates its online channels to reusable living. We do this through engaging the community and sharing posts to inspire simple daily changes as well as educating on environmental issues.

OUR VISION: 

We’re passionate about our online community. It’s where we share creative ideas with like-minded people and are inspired to create positive change. We aim to build this space into a powerful resource, making it easy for anyone to live an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

As part of our promise to be better, we're formulating a Carbon Management Plan with the intent to reduce our overall carbon emissions. We know the Product Carbon Footprint of the Moon bottles and mugs and are strategising ways we can further reduce emissions. 


OUR GOALS:

  • Implement a Carbon Management Plan with a three-year strategy to minimise our product’s carbon footprint and continue supporting credible projects.
  • Obtain certification to produce mugs made from recycled stainless steel.
  • Design and release a ‘plastic free’ bottle in 2025.
  • Calculate the Product Carbon Footprint of the Moon food flask and lunch bag.
  • Measure fossil fuel use during the manufacturing process and work towards finding a more sustainable source of production. Our factory currently uses renewable energy for its electrical source, so we are working together in other ways to make production more sustainable.
  • Continue working with environmentally responsible shipping companies.
  • Replace the biodegradable inner bags of the Moon bottle with something compostable.
  • Commit to sourcing 100% recycled materials to make Moon products and packaging.
  • Continue to release products that replace single-use plastics, contain no toxic chemicals, and are built to last a lifetime. 

Moon is always looking for ways to improve and share the results with our community. As part of this process, we encourage feedback and open communication. If you've noticed something we've missed or can suggest an exciting new initiative, please feel free to contact us here.
