Kuishi, a pioneering brand dedicated to sustainability, has launched the UK’s first carbon-positive dispensing solutions for homes and businesses. These innovative, refillable dispensers are designed to drastically cut down on single-use plastic waste, marking a significant step forward in the effort to make everyday products more environmentally friendly.
In the past year alone, Kuishi’s eco-conscious products have helped businesses and individuals avoid discarding over 1 million plastic bottles. By refilling their soap dispensers rather than purchasing disposable plastic soap bottles, Kuishi has made a significant impact on reducing plastic waste, driving its mission to promote sustainable practices.
Following an incredibly successful year, where Kuishi partnered with eco-forward hotels such as The Pig and Jumeirah Port Soller, the company is set to expand into the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2025, bringing their revolutionary products to a global audience.
What Makes Kuishi’s Solutions Carbon Positive?
Kuishi’s products stand out not only for their ability to offset their environmental impact but for their commitment to removing or preventing 20% more carbon from the atmosphere than it takes to manufacture, transport, use, and recycle them. This ambitious approach goes beyond the carbon-neutral model, setting a new standard in sustainable product development. Key features of Kuishi’s carbon-positive solutions include:
- Refillable Design: Each soap dispenser is crafted with longevity in mind, designed to be refilled repeatedly, eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles and significantly reducing waste.
- Sustainable Materials: The dispensers are made from durable, recyclable materials such as glass, ensuring that they are built to last and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan.
- Ethical Manufacturing: The company’s production processes emphasise low-carbon methods, incorporating renewable energy where possible to minimise the environmental footprint.
- Offset and Beyond: In collaboration with organisations like Carbon Sense, Kuishi goes the extra mile by offsetting their carbon footprint through carbon capture, reforestation, and renewable energy projects, creating a net-positive impact on the planet.
Reducing Plastic Waste: A Core Mission
The global plastic crisis is exacerbated by the staggering number of single-use bottles discarded each year. Kuishi’s refillable dispensing solutions offer an elegant alternative, replacing disposable plastics with stylish, durable designs for both residential and commercial use.
Thanks to its growing customer base, which includes households, hotels, and businesses, Kuishi has seen over 1 million refills in just the past year alone. This achievement is a testament to the widespread shift towards sustainable practices and the company’s role in helping mitigate environmental waste.
“Our mission is to inspire individuals to create positive change in their daily habits,” said Stephanie Melarickas, Founder and Director of Kuishi. By choosing refillable dispensers over single-use plastic bottles, we empower our customers to make a tangible difference for the planet.
Kuishi is also actively seeking partnerships with projects dedicated to reducing waste and plastic pollution, reinforcing its commitment to local community support.
B Corporation Certification and Commitment to Sustainability
In 2024, Kuishi achieved B Corporation certification, a recognition of the company’s dedication to balancing profit with purpose. This prestigious certification acknowledges companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
“Becoming a B Corp and introducing the UK’s first carbon-positive dispensers represent significant milestones for Kuishi,” said Mark Hopkins, CEO. “We are rethinking how products can be used while addressing the larger issue of single-use plastic waste and making a positive impact on the world.”
Transforming Sustainability for Everyday Use
Kuishi’s carbon-positive dispensers redefine what it means to be sustainable in everyday life. By offering practical, refillable, and aesthetically pleasing dispensers, Kuishi empowers consumers to adopt responsible consumption habits without compromising on quality or design.
