Plastic is not so fantastic!
We are all very familiar with the impact that single use plastic is having on our planet. If you are not aware, then perhaps some may say that you have been 'living under a rock'. But even so, you have probably been under the rock with either a plastic water bottle, a couple of straws and 10 lollipop sticks.
National Geographic reports 18 billion pounds of plastic waste flow into the oceans every year from coastal regions.
That’s the equivalent of five grocery bags of plastic trash sitting on every foot of coastline around the world.

And 40 percent of plastic produced is single use plastic.
Oh no thank you... that is NOT OKAY.
Cue Jane Goodall. She says, “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
But I don’t know where to start?
We suggest starting with a brand’s packaging. You can make the decision to support brands that have low impact packaging solutions (i.e., no single use plastic) or packaging which can be re-used.
At KNOT OKAY., we are constantly learning and choosing to make a positive difference to our planet. We are not perfect but every day we are bettering ourselves. While we aim to provide natural solutions to hair colouring, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact through biodegradable and compostable outer packaging, a reusable stand up pouch and biodegradable gloves in each of our Henna with Heart packs.
