Our “Planet� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Sealand “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
- It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
- There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
- It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

- Its products are made in-house by a small team.
- It traces most of its supply chain.
