About Brother's Make: 

In our little workshop down on the south coast of the UK, we’ve got a four-person strong team, with the unequivocal might of a small, planet-loving army. Each of us are unique and weird in our own way, but what does unite us is a burning passion for all things sustainable. And as cringey as it might sound, we do try to think of ‘The Planet’ a fifth member of the team, so that we can run all of our business decisions ‘through’ them to ensure they’re aligned with our overall mission and reason for being.

All of our products are made from 100% recycled plastic. All the materials that we use are collected by our wonderful friends, family, the local community, businesses and schools. We meticulously clean every piece of plastic that comes to us before hand-sorting it by type and colour. This is by far the longest part of the process, and while it’s by no means the funnest, it is absolutely critical to ensure it is both safe to recycle as well as let the product be recycled again and again in the future. Then comes the fun part of shredding it all down and turning this material into brand new products. And the lovely thing about working with recycled plastic, is that 100% of the waste that is produced can be collected and reused - circular economy, baby.
