TOUCHSTONE ESSENTIALS

OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“We’re committed to touching the lives of one million families with goodness. That journey includes sustainability. rePurpose Global helps us carry that mission forward through impact projects, cutting-edge recycling, and ethical wages. It’s a big step toward making a healthy difference in the world.”
— Eddie Stone, CEO & Founder, Touchstone Essentials
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.
PURE & SIMPLE GOODNESS FOR A HEALTHY BODY, COMMUNITY & WORLD
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.

PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Since its founding in 2012, Touchstone Essentials has committed to clean ingredients, organic practices, and sustainability. That includes everything from sourcing the finest ingredients from organic farms to responsible packaging and shipping practices. Their initiatives support healthy ecosystems and reduce waste because clean and natural nutrition should be healthier for you, farms, and the planet.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Touchstone Essentials has gone Plastic Neutral. 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 frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Touchstone Essentials has set its sights on touching the lives of one million families with goodness. And it’s their intent to make that journey sustainable. They are switching to recyclable, bio-based packaging made from rapidly regenerating resources, reducing their overall plastic usage and carbon footprint in shipping. It’s a series of big steps in creating a happy, healthy community of goodness.
