Scrubba
The Scrubba makes innovative products, such as the Scrubba wash bag (the world's smallest washing machine for travel and camping), to make your journey easier and reduce impact on the environment.
Our commitment
Not only does the Scrubba wash bag provide a fast and convenient way for travellers to wash their clothes anywhere, but each Scrubba bag saves travellers an average of 1000 litres of water and 7.5kg of carbon each year. We are committed to responsible environmental and social practices at the business level. We are a business member of 1% for the Planet, which means we donate 1% of our total revenue each year to environmental causes. We are also Climate Neutral certified, which involves measuring and offsetting our entire carbon footprint in addition to developing a plan to reduce our emissions moving forward. We use quality materials to ensure a long product lifespan and design our products to be easily repairable. We also repurpose waste materials (e.g. the Scrubba weightless wallet) and innovate to reduce our production footprint (e.g. the Scrubba wash bag Untouched and our use of recycled materials).

Our Sustainability Framework
What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?
Environmental & Social Responsibility Our retail products are packed in fully recyclable cardboard packaging or in reusable packing cells. In the AU market, customers can opt for no retail packaging on select products. Repurposing/upcycling We have upcycled fabric offcuts from the Scrubba wash bag production into simple travel/fitness wallets and we have also started to repurpose our shipping cartons into mailing boxes to reduce our usage of new mailing supplies. Responsible Material Investment We use quality materials to ensure a long product lifespan and design our products to be easily repairable. No PVC Due to the negative environmental impact of PVC, we have made the decision to discontinue manufacturing our inflatable hangers.
