Our story

In a nutshell

Pike's Pouches was launched in the spring of 2019 with the purpose of offering high quality natural products in a sustainable alternative to plastic bottles. 

Why go to war with plastic bottles?

• 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. This is equivalent to dumping a garbage truck full of plastic into the ocean every minute!
• There is now more plastic than fish in the ocean by weight.
• Plastic bottles make up the majority of ocean plastic pollution.
• A plastic bottle can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. That means that plastic bottles used today can still be floating around by the year 3000.
• Plastic pollution kills an estimated 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals each year. Plastic bottles are a major culprit, as animals can mistake them for food or get entangled in them.
• Only 9% of all plastic waste is recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment.
• Virtually no beauty/personal care bottles can be recycled. Sadly, due to residue virtually no beuaty/personal care bottles can be recycled and instead they are down-cycled into something like a traffic cone or fleece.

Why our pouches kick their... behinds!

• 80% less plastic than standard plastic bottles when compared on equal capacity. 
• Up to 9 times less natural resources used in manufacturing and transportation meaning a substantially lower carbon footprint.
• Unlike plastic bottles, our pouch comes with a BPA-free aluminium lining to prevent plastic impurity contamination.
• Due to their acute size and flexibility our pouches save space on your shelves or in your cupboards.
• We proudly offer a Zero waste programme whereby we ask customers to collect pouches to return to us to then be reused or forwarded to a specialist recycling facility. For more info please click here
