GO PLASTIC NEUTRAL WITH INIS
Inspired by the sea and committed to protecting our oceans.
OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“In creating our fragrances and personal care products, we draw our inspiration from the beauty and magic of the land and sea. Our signature Inis the Energy of the Sea collection celebrates the beauty and energy of the wild Atlantic coast of Ireland. As part of our mission, we must therefore make real efforts to protect the environment and it makes huge sense to me to partner with an organisation – rePurpose Global - that removes plastic from the environment. Reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans is hugely important to us and in fact, rePurpose Global do much more than that. They educate and ask us to look deeply into our business model in order to make more environmentally responsible and sustainable choices.”
— David Cox, Managing Director
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
INIS REFRESHES AND MAKES YOU FEEL CLOSE TO THE SEA- NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

INIS’ PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Since 2001, Inis has been the core funder of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group - dedicated to the protection, conservation and better understanding of dolphins and whales in Irish waters and across the world. In recent years, they have reduced their plastic use throughout the supply chain, specifically in their distribution centres – using biodegradable filler, paper tape and wrap.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Inis has gone Plastic Neutral. Through this partnership, Inis is taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
As part of their commitment to protecting the oceans, Inis plans to invest in further initiatives to reduce plastic use. Additionally, they are actively making environmentally conscious choices and changes throughout the supply chain – from new product development to logistics and delivery.
THIS IS HOW MUCH PLASTIC YOU

The first step to real change always begins with understanding our existing reality. The way we live our lives today, we understand that it’s impossible to avoid plastic entirely. But with this simple survey, you can learn about your personal plastic consumption - and find yourself in the position to take action on it.
It’s a small step for you, and a significant leap for the planet.
