Bulk and Oceans: A Love Story
Reduces plastic wraps (thus reducing the quantity of thrash you produce, especially the tons of plastic ones used in everyday life)Allows you to buy just the right amount (and thus reduce waste) while saving up to 25% on refills.Reduces your environmental print during transportation (no boxes = less stuff to carry around. The bigger bulk containers are easier to stack than individually wrapped items = optimized transport space.)Contributes to sustainable development: Pure products that are bulk accessible are bio friendly, reuse friendly, tomorrow friendly, local friendly and sustainability friendly…Find your friendly retailers now. Makes sense. Ourbulk allows you to finally align your lifestyle to your values. The St-Lawrence RiverFor all above mentioned reasons, Pure is proud to be a leader in the bulk business for more than a decade! We also have a very precious motive to contribute to a more sustainable world: a healthier St-Lawrence River.A recent study, mentioned in this Radio Canada article, showcases that the St-Lawrence River is one of the most micro-plastic polluted waterways. These residues are insoluble and unfilterable by epuration plants, they then infiltrate the river’s sediments, fishes but also our drinking water.The article mentions we ingest up to 5g of plastic per week. This is like eating your debit card. With Pure’s bulk, we steer away from plastic overuse, and thus, steer plastic away form our plates and cups. Our Total Fabrication plant is situated in Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska. A place where the river is our front yard, our ecosystem, our history, our identity, the true backbone of our community. One for all of Quebec to rely on. We truly love this river. We love its belugas, its fishes and its plants. At Pure, it is with the river (and life forms it’s hosting) in mind that we design our products. You will not find a single trace of micro plastics in our products. By offering them in bulk, we hope of taking another step towards eliminating plastic containers, one at a time. Creating Household and Body Care Products with our HeartJust like you do at home, we also try to make sense and coherence out of our actions and their consequences. Here, our team is made of family men/women, nature lovers, thoughtful grand parents, conscious and dynamic youth. Those personal characteristics don’t disappear when we come into work. Quite the contrary! At Pure, we put all we are in all we do. That is why we have been putting our heart in every product every day for over a decade, products that basically will not leave a single trace in our environment. In the end, this planet is for the youth, and the future generations, we just have the luck of borrowing it today. Since the early days, Pure has been designing biodegradable products, not tested on animals, without danger for septic tanks. All of this is just extra care for the health of our river and households. That is why at Pure, we’ve been doing bulk since day 1.

Partnering with Obi for a Clean and Uncluttered Home
We are excited to announce our partnership with Obi, a home organization service specialized in decluttering and in creating beautiful, practical spaces (excerpt from the company's website).Most of us can only dream of the clean, tidy rooms shown in magazines and on social media.

One step at a time.. About ObiFounder Gabrielle, a storage aficionado, launched Obi in March 2020. She believes that, beyond the beauty of a tidy house, there is a philosophy behind decluttering.You can click on the following link to learn more about Obi (French only): https://www.obihomeorganization.com/post/10-raison...We, at Pure, often talk (!) about ecology, healthy living, and bulk goods.

''Je suis Pure'', by Florence-Léa Siry
Hello, my name is Florence-Léa Siry, I am a zero-waste expert and owner of the brand Flonette (we are a few days away from launching the official website, yeah!). In my opinion, we should learn to curb the reflex of consuming to meet a need. I much prefer to create, because I feel that I am more in solidarity with the planet and, as a result, I really take part in the change. Creating content for Pure Earth Month was not my idea, and that's the wonderful thing about the Pure team. It's that they exceed my standards for committing to the environment. Let me tell you about them.- - In March 2020, just before the pandemic began, I met with Anthony Poitras, General Manager at Total Fabrication. My initial goal was to find a new partner to manufacture and distribute my solid dish soaps. I found way more than expected. I knew about Pure products (Almond blossom team!), but I had no idea that I would fall in love with this genuinely kind-hearted company. I was charmed by their social commitment but as a bonus, the team is also very, very committed to improving the health of the planet. - I am proud to say that I have been working with Total Fabrication for the past year. They did me the honor of welcoming me in their family. They gave me a lot of laughs, stars in my eyes but above all: my Flonette. It was natural for me to want to be their new face for Pure Earth Month. We all want a healthier planet!

2021 : One step at a time!
As we all know, only a small percentage of New Year's resolutions are kept.And that's really not a big deal.In our opinion, the new year is mostly a number, a symbolic moment to allow us to take a step back from our actions, our successes, and even our failures of the past year. A moment to realize that we are not perfect and that it is perfectly human to have "relapses". And that there's no point in putting pressure on ourselves.It's so much easier and more rewarding to just try to be a better version of ourselves!•••If you have decided in 2021 to make more eco-friendly choices to take care of our beautiful planet :We are so proud of you!We're here to make your life easier and help you do small things that will make a big difference (without you even realizing it!).Did you know that in 2020, in collaboration with our retailers and our #jesuispure community, we managed to save over a million bottles from our oceans, simply by reusing them? It's the proof that every little thing, big or small, counts. It really does.In 2021, don't be too hard on yourself. If you feel like it, set realistic goals that you really want to achieve, and go at your own pace.Here are a few steps you can take to get more eco-friendly in 2021:Sort through the products you already have and determine what you need.Don't throw anything away (except what's no longer good, of course!) Take time to use your products down to the last drop before thinking about buying more. You can also give them to your friends and family or even to animal shelters - they need them all the time!Start with products that are easy to integrate into your everyday life: our Laundry Detergent has been our most popular product for over 10 years because, in addition to being biodegradable, it is extremely effective, concentrated and, of course, available in bulk.

Pure giving for Christmas!
In 2020, Pure received an immense outpouring of love. You've been so generous to us, and we're beyond grateful. So it was only natural for us to give back to the community. As the holiday season approaches, we wanted to do something that would make a difference to keep everyone healthy and safe, especially those in need. Because we believe everyone is essential. That's why we reached out to two of our friends and partners with whom we've collaborated throughout the year: Florence-Léa Siry and Andréanne Marquis . We asked them to each choose an organization that was close to their hearts and to which we could donate hand sanitizers, laundry detergents, and hand soaps. Florence-Léa chose to donate to Moisson Montréal , an organization that collects donations of food and essential products throughout the year to offer them free of charge to more than 200 community organizations. For her part, Andréanne was already associated with Pignon Bleu in Quebec City, thanks to her company Womance's "Give to Help" campaign. Pignon Bleu is an organization whose mission is to contribute to food security for children and families, to support the development of children in need in Quebec City, and to contribute to the training and integration into the workforce of unemployed people. This week, we donated over 2,500 hand sanitizers, laundry detergents, and hand soaps to these organizations, worth over $25,000. Mission accomplished (and we're very proud of it!). We've mobilized so that together, we can one day say that the pandemic is finally behind us. Thanks again to Florence-Léa and Andréanne Marquis for their time and their kind gesture. We wish you all to take good care of yourselves, to give if you can and of course, sweet and happy holidays!

Do you have a wellness routine?
According to the dictionary, a routine is: a mechanical habit, unthinking, and resulting from a succession of actions repeated over and over again.There are many benefits to having a routine. Less stress, more efficiency. At work, in our consumption habits (hello bulk) ... but we sometimes forget to have one to take care of ourselves. Everyone faces their share of challenges, especially this year, and it's important to put our daily tornadoes on hold and put aside everything, EVERYTHING! Since the beginning of the pandemic, having a personal routine has become a priority for many of us, for our well-being, for our motivation but also for our mental health.In addition, there are many solutions to take care of ourselves and the planet at the same time. Eco-friendly solutions such as our body care line (a good lavender Bubble bath to relax), but since a few months, we have also added to our routine the Nordora skincare products. A soft moment to our skin to wish ourselves a good day or a good night.@jenyferhodgsonNORDORAWe are pleased to welcome Nordora products to our platform. This Canadian brand revalorizes elements of our nature that would otherwise be destined to be abandoned. Giving a second life, we LOVE it! They have quickly become our favorite products for the skincare routine. Eight years of research and development have led to the creation of Nordora products, which are made with bioactive ingredients from Quebec nature: they are specifically formulated to allow our skin to survive the four seasons. In addition to sharing values similar to Pure, these products regenerate the skin's protective barrier and are excellent anti-inflammatory for winter. Discover now the Nordora line on our website!
