At DNC, sustainability isn’t a campaign — it’s the entire reason most of our products exist.
Every Polar Gear bottle, lunch bag, snack pot and food container is designed to be reused day after day, replacing the single-use bottles, disposable cups and food wraps that would otherwise end up in landfill.
With over 5 million Polar Gear products sold each year and around 1 in 10 UK households already using the brand, the cumulative impact really adds up.
A single reusable Polar Gear bottle in regular use can replace hundreds of disposable plastic bottles over its lifetime — and our lunch boxes, food containers and Novo Clic-Tite storage replace clingfilm, foil and sandwich bags meal after meal.
For 2026 we’re continuing to push on the next layer of detail: reducing plastic in packaging, increasing recycled content where it’s safe and practical to do so, and improving on-pack recycling information so shoppers can do the right thing easily at home.
Our aim has always been to help families make healthier, more sustainable choices in their everyday lives — drinking more water, eating well, and cutting down on single-use waste.
We’re proud of how far the category has come, and there’s plenty more to do. We welcome conversations with retail partners about how we can help build a stronger sustainable lunch and hydration offer. Get in touch at salesadmin@dnc-uk.com
