The Bottle Factory

We came across a report that kept us up all night - 1500 plastic bottles are consumed every second.

How we found it

At A Good Company, we like to think of ourselves as more than an online shop for sustainable everyday items. We strive to change behaviour through transparency and fact-finding — and to get people to think about what impact their consumer behaviour has on the environment.

When, after a comprehensive breakdown of suppliers, we visited The Bottle Factory we knew that we had found a supplier to help us solve the massive issue of plastic bottles.

The process and way of working

The Bottle Factory is in the mountainous area of Wenzhou, China. The Factory has a rigorous quality management system in place, based on advanced engineering competence and modern equipment. Importantly, they detail their own environmental footprint and are open into new ideas.

One such innovation is to package A Good Bottle in an recycled cotton bag. We just couldn't accept plastic and cardboard packaging. If A Good Bottle should be a replacement for plastic bottles, it felt wrong to package it in a material we are trying to remove.

About the owner

The Bottle Factory was founded in 2011. It has 100 employees working under fair work conditions. It is a family business, and we last met in May 2019.
