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. 🌎💙

Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize: The Clean Future of Personal Care

Listen to the podcast                         Watch on youtube.  Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize: The Birth of Plaine Products Founded in 2017, Plaine Products started with a simple but revolutionary idea: What if packaging could be reused, not discarded? This concept led to their unique refillable system, designed to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. The company’s first offerings—a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash—were a test of this model. “We thought, why can’t packaging be like Netflix DVDs back in the day? You use it, send it back, and it’s reused,” Lindsey explains. Despite the steep learning curve and challenges, including sourcing the right ingredients and sustainable packaging, the sisters persevered. The Power of Aluminum and Plant-Based Ingredients Plaine Products made a conscious choice to use aluminum bottles. Unlike plastic, aluminum is lightweight, recyclable, and durable. "Plastic is a great material but not for single-use items," Lindsey notes. Aluminum bottles can be reused multiple times, reducing the energy and resources needed to create new containers and is the basis for the Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize model Plaine uses. Equally important are the products themselves. Made with vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic ingredients, the formulas are as kind to the planet as they are to users. “Why work hard to keep plastic out of the environment but dump harmful chemicals down the drain?” Lindsey asks. This ethos extends to every aspect of their operations, from sourcing ingredients to working with manufacturers who share their values. Building a Community Around Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize Plaine Products owes much of its success to a strong sense of community. Early on, Lindsey reached out to influencers and like-minded individuals to spread the word. This grassroots approach, coupled with a commitment to customer education, has helped the brand thrive. “We listen to customer feedback,” she shares. “They’ve guided everything from new products to adjustments in our packaging. It’s a partnership.” The subscription model has also been a game-changer, providing stability while encouraging long-term relationships with customers. Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead Like any entrepreneurial journey, Plaine Products’ path has been filled with challenges. From rusting prototypes to refining their messaging, Lindsey emphasizes the importance of adaptability and learning from mistakes. “You don’t start at perfection,” she says. “You grow, adjust, and keep moving forward.” The company recently hit a major milestone: 700,000 bottles sold, each representing one less plastic bottle in a landfill or the ocean. Looking ahead, Lindsey and Alison aim to expand their product line while staying true to their mission of sustainability and ethical practices. Closing Thoughts Lindsey McCoy’s story is a testament to the power of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. By addressing a pressing environmental issue with innovation and heart, Plaine Products is not only making a difference but also inspiring others to do the same. So, why not make your personal care routine a little kinder to the planet? Together, we can create a world where sustainability is the norm, not the exception.
