What makes Waken so sustainable?

Waken has a wide range of sustainable initiatives that further the brand’s ethical status. The brand is compensating for carbon emissions created during the production and distribution of its products, by supporting verified carbon offsetting projects that help to reduce carbon emissions elsewhere.

Founded in 2019, Waken started with the simple idea that mouthcare products could be really effective, but also more beautiful and much more sustainable. All its products are designed with sustainability at their heart. For example, the toothpaste tubes are made from recycled and endlessly recyclable aluminium, and the mouthwash bottles are made from 100% post consumer recycled plastic.

How did Waken attain Ethical Accreditation?

Waken has attained Ethical Accreditation from The Good Shopping Guide. This involved an application process and a full review of the brand’s ethical policies and practices. Waken is subject to an annual review to ensure the company maintains high ethical standards.

As a result, Waken is permitted to use our Good Shopping Guide Ethical logo, which certifies the brand’s ethical status and allows consumers to recognise Waken as an ethical brand.
