BECOMING AN ECO FRIENDLY SWIM BRAND

Born amidst of covid-19 in April 2020, Peppermint Pebbles is the true outcome of a nature lover, living on the south coast of NSW, Australia. Trying to do the right thing by the beautiful ocean that connects us to the rest of the world. It Is a blessing to be able to live so close to the waters while it is heartbreaking to see the impact that we all make as humans on the most beautiful nature.

Peppermint Pebbles became a brand with a purpose with a simple thought that changed the whole concept for a better environment. Just traveled through the region in February 2020, seeing how the bush fire-affected area is coming back to life. Trees becoming greener and the noise of the birds are back to its happy chirp, and seeing a few roos running through the trees and the beaches are showing a bit of whiter sands and clear water without washed-up ash.

Like a miracle, just after 3 months, the place is in the process of becoming pretty again. While heading home, pulled to the side of the road, and taking picture of this beautiful wonder, I realized that the universe can look after itself if we give it a chance, that we don’t weigh it with the artificial things that take hundreds of years to break down. And that is Plastic. The only thing that we Humans created and keep making even after we have learned the impact the plastic leaves on our beautiful planet. Are we Humans not the ones to fix it? the mass damage we put upon our environment? 

It was like a call from nature asking for help. The beginning of our story.

That day, Though not long ago I changed my way of thinking and how I would want to live the rest of my life. It took very little time to figure out the worst impact on earth now and years to come is the outcome of everyday plastic we use. I promised myself not to use plastic again, At least to the extent of not using new plastic at all. But recycled plastics only where I must. The impact of plastic is so much I cried just reading through the pages of plastic in our oceans and all the effects of how we would lose most of the beautiful creatures even before the plastic would even start to break down.

Plastic waste creates a toxic environment for countless marine animals, fish, plants, reefs, and shorebirds. Currently, only 1 in 5 plastic bottles is recycled with the remaining four being improperly disposed of which most often end up in lakes, rivers, and oceans.

I had my brand developed with nylon/ lycra fabrics ready to launch in 2020 but decided to scrap the idea completely and change it for the better of the environment. Although it cost me a lot (especially for a start-up) I’ve decided to purchase new fabrics, labeling, and packaging. It was all about doing the right thing for the environment we live in.

Peppermint Pebbles uses fabrics made out of plastic bottles picked up from the oceans. Even the packaging is 100% recycled materials. Just by adopting a little change in life with little effort, we can help one fish or one turtle at a time.

It was not a secret that we should have acted earlier, but still not too late to save our home, the Earth, the environment, the air that we breathe, the ocean we swim and cherish all the living. We are all well equipped with social media now not like decades ago and it is time we stop this forever.

The brand is us, Peppermint Pebbles is a dream come true, worked and experimented for over 6 years. though we planned to come out as a brand, during the lockdown period of Covid-19. And simply got better for us and the environment just by seeing the environment showing the miracle of being able to fix things, reverse the damages and thrive.
