T&G is making a donation to Plastic Oceans UK from sales of its new Ocean collection, supporting education and ocean sustainability programmes.
The collection – launched at Exclusively Housewares – is inspired by the love of the sea, including whale and fish wireware basket, crab shaped trivets shaped and cork tablemats and coasters in organic shapes. “It is nice to raise money and awareness to tackle the problems of plastic in the ocean, as well as create a unique and fun, on-trend collection,” said T&G’s head of marketing, Jenny Handley.
T&G has long pioneered of the use of cork among its sustainable portfolio, and Jenny points out that the “new iceberg cork” used in the Ocean range is coarser, looking “very beachy”.
