Seepje has a mission to replace as many synthetic laundry products as possible with natural alternatives while working in a fair and socially responsible manner.
Replacing regular synthetic detergents is important because these products typically contain between five and ten percent petroleum and/or natural gas. This is equivalent to the amount needed to produce a single-use plastic bag per wash. But it can be different. Seepje’s products consist of over 99 percent natural ingredients. Each Seepje product sold makes a difference. In 2022, it is expected to make a difference of over a million liters. And as the company grows, so does its contribution. Seepje pays a fair price for ingredients sourced from Nepal and India and ensures the planting of thousands of new soap trees to provide farmers with long-term income. Packaging materials are also consciously chosen to minimize environmental impact. The bottles are made almost entirely from recycled plastic waste. And with the next step towards more solid products, plastic consumption can be greatly reduced. Finally, Seepje collaborates with social workshops in the Netherlands for packaging. Dozens of employees assist Seepje, contributing to their independence, responsibility, and social interaction.
