PLEY BEAUTY
We bring sustainability into every decision we make.
OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“When developing Pley Beauty I learned beauty is a leading polluter of single-use plastics. To be part of the solution, we use recycled materials & have committed to Plastic Neutrality.”
— Peyton List
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.
PLEY BEAUTY IS PLASTIC NEUTRAL THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH REPURPOSE GLOBAL
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.

PLEY BEAUTY’S
PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Nearly all of our packaging is made with recycled material and we include the percentage on each piece of packaging for full transparency. Shipping materials including tape, ecowrap, and the shipper box are biodegradable.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Pley Beauty has gone Plastic Neutral. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing the critical expansion of waste collection and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontline.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
We believe in rePurpose Global’s mission to create a cleaner and more conscious world. That box your Pley product came in? It’s made from 100% recycled materials AND can be recycled itself! What about your favorite Pley product containers? We have a recycling guide for that.
WE BRING SUSTAINABILITY INTO EVERY DECISION WE MAKE
There’s no one right way to be sustainable but it’s essential to be transparent and honest because sustainability is complex. Are we perfect? No, but we invite you to join us as we learn and innovate.
We're on a journey to make the planet a healthier place for all of us.
