Plaine Products & Orange County Coastkeeper: Making Waves for Earth Day

After the incredible enthusiasm and success of our Holiday Sale beach cleanup campaign, we knew we had to do it again—this time for Earth Day! The Holiday Sale campaign showed us just how much our community values sustainability and real-world impact. For every order placed during our Earth Day Sale (April 21-24, 2025), we’ve partnered with Orange County Coastkeeper to remove one pound of trash from our environment. Together, we’re turning sustainable shopping into tangible action.   Protecting Our Waters with Orange County Coastkeeper Orange County Coastkeeper is a nonprofit clean water organization dedicated to protecting swimmable, drinkable, and fishable water while promoting watershed resilience throughout the region. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours - keeping plastic out of our oceans and landfills to create a cleaner, healthier planet. Through education, advocacy, restoration, research, enforcement, and conservation, Orange County Coastkeeper actively works to safeguard fresh- and saltwater ecosystems. Their efforts ensure that communities have healthy, accessible, and sustainable water resources for generations to come. By hosting this Earth Day cleanup in Orange County, they’re not only removing trash but also inspiring action and awareness about the importance of protecting our waterways.   Why This Matters to Plaine Products At Plaine Products, we believe that small actions lead to big impacts. Our commitment to using refillable aluminum bottles instead of plastic shampoo bottles helps reduce waste before it even begins. By keeping single-use plastics out of circulation, we’re cutting down on pollution, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting a circular economy. Partnering with Orange County Coastkeeper for this Earth Day campaign was a natural extension of our mission. By combining our refillable products with hands-on environmental action, we’re tackling the plastic waste problem from both ends - reducing future waste while cleaning up the past.   What’s Next? Our work doesn’t stop here. Plaine Products is committed to continuing our mission of reducing waste and supporting sustainability. Whether it’s through future cleanup initiatives, ongoing partnerships with like-minded organizations, or simply encouraging others to embrace refillable solutions, we’re in this for the long haul.   Together, we can make waves—not just on Earth Day, but every day. 🌎💙
