We love Circular & Co.
They’re a Cornish-based bottle company making incredibly stylish, yet practical, water bottles and coffee cups. But what makes them extra special is that all their water bottles are made from, well, other bottles!
We love to champion anyone who puts the planet before profits. We believe that Circular & Co., and companies like them, are the future of merchandise - a future we’re very excited about!
As Circular & Co. say themselves, “Positive action is a journey”, and the very first step in your eco-journey will always be the most impactful. That’s why we want to help you take that first important step by sharing with you why we love Circular & Co., and why we think you’ll love them too.

Circular & Co. turn old bottles into new ones — and do it beautifully.
From Cornwall to your desk, their bottles and cups are practical, leakproof, dishwasher-safe, and built to last a decade (with a second life waiting after that).
It's proof that doing right by the planet doesn't mean compromising on design or convenience.
We love them, and once you've tried one, we think you will, too.
Like many inventors, Dan Dicker started Circular & Co. back in 2003 from his garden shed.
Having had a thriving career as an ex-Dyson designer and product inventor, Dan’s dream was to move to the coast to start a new life by the sea.
However, he soon became disheartened with how our modern lives were producing much waste. He could see our throwaway culture damaging the planet, and vowed to do something about it.
That’s when the concept of circular design caught Dan’s attention. It wasn’t an established concept back in the early 2000s, but Dan didn’t let that stand in his way.
Since then, he has been working with a network of industry experts to develop real circular solutions.
These are products that last as long as possible and can be 100% fully recycled at the end of their life. Dan saw this as the only solution to our planet’s waste problem, and we couldn’t agree more.
Welcome, Circular & Co.!
Circular & Co.’s brand goals align perfectly with our own.
They’re on a mission to stop waste from harming our oceans, as well as giving single-use plastic a 2nd chance.
And this is precisely why we love working with Circular & Co. By championing this ‘closed loop’ design, you can have the confidence that your water bottle or coffee cup is doing great things for the planet.
Our linear economy model of take, make, and waste is outdated. As a society, we cannot keep creating so much unusable waste. The solution? Circular design.
Circular & Co. consider circular design the only viable solution to the predicament we now find ourselves in. I mean, they believe it so wholeheartedly they even included it in their name!
Circular design’s ethos is living within our planet’s limits, considering the full journey of the product, and what it’ll be used for next.
To give you some perspective, in 1970, we took 22 billion tonnes of natural resources from our planet. In 2010, this increased to 70 billion tonnes. The prediction for 2050 is 180 billion tonnes. Our world just can’t keep up with our demand, so we’ve got to do everything we can to find and support alternative solutions.
Overall, circular design is a product whose materials can be reused or 100% recycled.
Just think, what will your water bottle or coffee cup be next?

This is a favourite water bottle of ours.
Made from 92% single-use bottles (x14 single-use bottles per bottle), the Circular bottle is all about circular design.
It’s 100% recyclable at the end of its life, although that most likely won’t be until 10+ years of use. It’s also lightweight and leakproof, so it’s practical, too.
The world's first reusable cup made from other cups!
Following the same premise as Circular & Co.’s bottle, the coffee cup is all about the design.
This mug isn’t made to sit in a cupboard getting dusty; it’s made to be used again and again! And great news: after 10 years of use, your cup can be recycled into another Circular & Co. cup, and the cycle continues.
Circular & Co.’s new product range, Made From, champions a closed-loop, circular design, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
They’ve not only developed the world’s largest range of recycled materials embedded within multi-award-winning products, but they’ve also stopped these things from ending up in landfills and damaging our planet.
And we get a cool-looking cup. Win, win!

We love how not one ounce of convenience has been hindered by Circular & Co.’s goal of being sustainable.
All their products can be thrown into your regular curbside recycling, meaning no extra effort is needed to help ensure your cup continues on its circular journey.
Its whole design is about being practical, with portability in mind.
It won’t leak, ever.
You can easily open it with one hand and drink whilst on the move. It'll keep your drinks hot or cold for ages. Best of all, it’s 100% dishwasher safe.
Enjoying your morning coffee is often a cherished part of a morning routine.
That’s why Circular & Co. have designed all their coffee cups with your morning brew in mind.
With 90% of the taste of coffee based on smell, the clever design of the Circular & Co. coffee cup lid allows that glorious fresh coffee smell to be enjoyed with every sip, too.
Did you know, currently we are only reusing about 2% of what we put into our recycling?
That’s not a lot.
With Circular & Co., your water bottle and coffee cup are guaranteed for use for 10 years.
Even after that, though, Circular & Co. will try everything to help you repair or replace them, to prevent them from becoming landfill.
A Cornish bottle and cup company founded by ex-Dyson designer Dan Dicker back in 2003 — proof that circular design ideas really can start in a garden shed.
Every bottle and cup is made from other bottles and cups (up to 92% recycled single-use plastic), designed to last 10+ years, then be recycled all over again.
Yes — no special drop-off points needed. Just pop them in your regular curbside recycling once their (very long) working life is done.
Definitely. The lid design is built to let that fresh coffee smell through, which matters more than you'd think — smell accounts for around 90% of how we taste coffee.
Very. Leakproof, one-handed opening, dishwasher safe, and built to keep drinks hot or cold for hours — sustainability without the faff.
Circular & Co. guarantee 10 years of use, and they'll even help you repair or replace it after that rather than let it end up in landfill.
Being a force for good is all about challenging the status quo and making small, meaningful changes. It’s a goal we’re willing to take on! Are you?
