Antiques expert and star of BBC1’s The Bidding Room and Salvage Hunters: The Restorers, Natasha Francis, has announced the winners of The BizBubble and Modern Maker Awards 2024. This annual business awards event celebrates, supports and champions small businesses, sole traders and micro companies as well those that have thrived or launched during the last year.
If that wasn’t enough, excitement on the day reached fever pitch as Natasha announced the award winners online via video and Battle Green scooped Best Ethical Business in the Modern Maker Awards!
Started in 2018, Battle Green offers eco-friendly alternatives to everyday items, for the home and on-the-go, with a view to helping people reduce waste and single-use plastic in their daily lives. At the heart of the range is a wide selection of natural cosmetics - packaged in plastic-free and refillable packaging. Everything is made by hand here in Wales, using plant-based and vegan friendly ingredients.
Battle Green started in response to the growing and overwhelming number of reports on the negative impact that wasteful practices and plastic are having on the natural world, both close to home and further afield. There are now more micro plastics in the oceans than stars in the Milky Way, and around 100 million marine mammals die from plastic pollution each year. As huge animal and nature lovers, it's a deep appreciation for the natural world that drives Battle Green's founders, Dave and Lucy. This, and an awareness of how plastic waste is even starting to affect areas as unpopulated as their local area - microplastics have been found in Llyn Glaslyn, a remote lake near the summit of Snowdon. Battle Green aims to be a small part of reversing the tide on waste and plastic.
