About us
Serious is a Social Enterprise with a simple mission: change where people are spending their money, to create a better world. We create sustainable products that match current market leaders on quality and price but have positive environmental and social impact. Our range of products includes Serious Tissues which is the UK's first carbon-neutral toilet paper. It is made in the UK from 100% recycled paper with zero plastic AND we plant a tree for every roll sold. In the last year, we have planted over 500,000 trees and are currently planting the equivalent of 5 Hyde Parks every single week. This shows how a huge impact can be made through a very small change. As well as the environmental impact, we are empowering local communities where the trees are planted and have created 23+ years of employment so far in ten countries across the world. Our UK tree planting starts in November as part of the Queen's Jubilee Canopy. Project Ten Million Ten Million trees are flushed down the toilet every year globally. In our eyes, this is ten million too many. Project Ten Million brings together a consortium of corporates and organisations who by making the simple switch to Serious Tissues will help us plant Ten Million Trees We also have a range of Serious Soaps that are certified plastic negative products. We recover 1kg of ocean bound plastic per pack sold. This is the equivalent of fifty 500ml bottles or 500 crisp packets and we're already starting to see a major impact here. Serious is brought to you by the same team that created Change Please, a coffee business that helps the homeless by giving them an opportunity to train as a barista.

At Serious, we talk a lot about how simple switches can add up to big impact. Changing where you source your toilet roll could contribute to global reforestation efforts, or switching laundry supplies could support ocean plastic recovery. But what if there were some kind of tool that made it easy for you — a facilities manager, business owner, or procurement superstar — to see the impact you could make from switching to Serious? Well, now there is. Our brand-new Impact Calculator is live! In just a few clicks, you can measure the positive difference your business could create by making the switch to Serious. Try it today 👏 Link below! #ImpactCalculator #ImpactMeasurement #ESG #SustainableProcurement

Serious Tissues reposted this
By switching all detergent products across their sites to our plastic-free laundry sheets, Mitie is setting a new standard for everyday sustainability. By the end of year one, this simple swap is projected to recover 1 tonne of ocean-bound plastic - the equivalent of 50,000 plastic bottles stopped from entering our waterways. Big thanks to the Mitie team for making the move to cleaner laundry - and proving that small switches can drive serious change.

Thank you Andron Facilities Management for making the switch to us, and sharing our vision for a healthier planet 🌎
This #PlasticFreeJuly, we’re proud to highlight one of our incredible purpose-led supply partners: Serious Tissues 🧻 Their 100% recycled, plastic-free toilet tissue and hand towels are already in use across our clients’ sites, and every roll purchased helps plant trees, restore forests, and leave the planet better than it was before. Through our partnership so far this year, we’ve prevented 279 kg of plastic from entering the environment and avoided 910 kg of CO₂ emissions. It's this kind of diverse supply chain strategy we're focused on, partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable sourcing and positive impact,🤝 that allows us to support our own environmental goals while also helping our clients achieve theirs. We plan to roll forward with this partnership by bringing Serious Tissue’s products to more sites, allowing us to help even more of our clients advance their broader sustainability goals. A big thank you to Chris Baker, CEO of Serious Tissue, for taking the time to share more about our collective impact and our shared plans to further reduce our footprint. Watch below to hear what he had to say 👇
