At Simple Modern, we understand we have a responsibility to preserve and protect the environment. By creating durable drinkware, every fill and use of a Simple Modern product means individuals are reducing single-use plastic household waste. We are continually working alongside our manufacturing partners to make the creation, distribution, and disposal of our products as clean and sustainable as possible.
We design our products with meticulous attention to detail and use high-quality materials. Each item is created with a commitment to quality and is intended to be used repeatedly. When used as instructed and properly cared for, a Simple Modern product can last for years, reducing waste exponentially over time.
We believe sustainability starts at the beginning. We work hand-in-hand with our partners to implement sustainable practices, including recycling unused or damaged materials and packaging components. Our product packaging is made with fully-recyclable materials, and we are continually looking for ways to minimize printing and reduce use of paper and single use plastics, while still keeping products properly protected for our customers.
In 2022, Simple Modern began domestic manufacturing in Oklahoma City with a focus on reusable plastic water bottles. To date, Simple Modern has invested more than $6 million in domestic manufacturing, and the goal is to domestically produce more than 1.5 million units in Oklahoma in 2023. Domestic manufacturing reduces complexities and unnecessary logistics that add costs to customers and pollution to the environment.
"What we're doing is eliminating a massive amount of waste from the environment. I've become a lot more aware and educated about the ways that we can make simple everyday decisions that make a tangible impact on the footprint we are having on the earth." - Mike Beckham, CEO Simple Modern
