Milly Green, Creative Director, said: “We are so excited to launch our new Planet Happy collection, and to be finalists for 'Ethical Gift' in the Gift of the Year Awards is the icing on the cake.

“The BBC’s Planet Earth II series with Sir David Attenborough gave us the push we needed to totally rethink our products. We’re not saving the world but we’re trying to do our bit for the environment, from the materials we use in our products right through to the point of sale and delivery packaging.”

The Ocean range showcases ocean dwellers who need our help – Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Spiny Lobster and Atlantic Mackerel – alongside subtle environmental calls to action such as ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’. Products include textiles, hydration and giftware.

The landmark Rainforest design celebrates life-giving trees, pretty parrots, amazing chameleons and the humble frog. Products include stationery, hydration and giftware.

A symbol of patience, wisdom, endurance and luck, the sea turtle is championed in our Turtle design. This stunning watercolour style design captures this animal so beautifully, combined with quotes such as ‘save our oceans’ and ‘say no to plastic’. Products include hydration and giftware.

These fun and colourful 3-piece kids dinner sets feature either a blue whale, orangutan, leopard or elephant. Sure to make dinnertime that little bit more exciting, the Endangered Animals sets include a bowl, cup and plate. Naturally, the safety of children is of huge importance and these sets are nontoxic, BPA free and made with bamboo fibre that is 100% biodegradable.

Materials used in the manufacture of Planet Happy Designs include bamboo fibre, corn starch (PLA), 30% recycled ceramic, recycled cotton, recycled kraft paper and postconsumer waste paper, wheat straw, recycled leather fibre and recycled polyester plastic (rPET).

Milly Green’s best-known and most popular existing ranges are Debonair Dogs, Curious Cats, London Adventures and Royal. Many of the products within these ranges are also now available as part of the ‘Planet Happy Designs’ ethos.

About Milly Green

Milly Green is an exciting British brand for luxury lifestyle and high-quality homeware products sold around the world.

When Sir David Attenborough issued a call to action to combat plastic waste in Planet Earth 2, he set off what many have since called “The Attenborough Effect”, the war on plastic and a wider social movement. This gave the Milly Green team the push they needed to totally rebuild its core offers from the ground up.

Over the last 12 months the team has focussed on the health of our planet, the animals who are endangered and how we can all play our part to help improve this situation in our own small way. The result being the ranges within our ‘Planet Happy Designs’ collection.

With fresh, contemporary and colourful designs, combined with quirky and quintessentially British themes, Milly Green continues to create inspiring new product ranges across homeware, gifting, stationery and accessories.

About 1% for the Planet

1% for the Planet started when two businessmen met and bonded over their shared love for the outdoors. Realizing their responsibility to protect our planet, they decided to give 1% of their sales back to the environment—whether or not they were profitable.

The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems.

For every purchase of a Planet Happy product, Milly Green pledges to give 1% of the proceeds to support the work of its chosen partners: the Marine Conservation Society and the Woodland Trust.
