The couple and most of their team of potters live in coastal Queensland and are deeply connected to the ocean. It’s only natural that they want to help protect our beaches and seas from the harmful effects of plastic pollution and climate change impacts.
Their hope? To encourage people to make lifestyle choices that help the planet!

Renton and Clare share their passion for the environment and activism.
The success of Pottery for the Planet has meant their business has become a vehicle to create change and spread awareness about environmental issues.
They have been long-time supporters and donors to the Australian Marine Conservation Society, and regularly collaborate with the environment movement.
For instance, they designed Stop Adani reusable cup (pictured below) and a Green Sea Turtle Planet Cup for World Turtle Day to help spread awareness about climate change and how it impacts sea turtles.

As if there wasn’t already so much to love about Pottery for the Planet, they have a superb ethical business model (and we’re so happy it complies with the Australian Marine Conservation Society’s Ethical Charter!)
Pottery for the Planet source packaging from recycled cardboard and by-products of business and consumer waste.
Their wholesale model encourages customers to buy from local stockists, which in turn reduces freight packaging and inevitable carbon emissions from long distance transportation.
