GO PLASTIC NEGATIVE WITH
SPINSTER SISTERS
On a mission to make the best skincare for people while harmonizing your relationship with the planet.
OUR PLASTIC NEGATIVE PROMISE
REMOVING TWICE AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“Big change starts small and our Plastic Negative Certification is motivation for us to go beyond our own footprint and inspire others to choose our planet over plastic.”
— Kelly Perkins, CEO & Founder, Spinster Sisters.
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we were 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 twice as much plastic waste from the environment as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects that are empowering waste workers on the frontline to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Negative is a continuous commitment. That’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a roadmap for the future to reduce the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
EVERYDAY WE RECOMMIT TO BEING BETTER FOR OUR PLANET.
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.

SPINSTER SISTERS’ PLASTIC NEGATIVE JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Since 2012 Spinster Sisters has been making premium plant-based skincare and to further our sustainability mission we have partnered with rePurpose to go plastic-negative and fund recycling in India.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEGATIVE SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Wash with Water has gone Plastic Negative. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontline.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
We are always looking for innovative ways to minimize our impact and improve our sustainability. As we continue to grow we are excited to go deeper with rePurpose to create a world with less plastic.
