Our Story
We’re here to help. To help you, help our planet.
Maemara takes ocean and landfill-bound plastic and turns a hazardous waste product into beautiful homeware. Founded in 2019 by three earth and ocean-loving individuals, Maemara is a brand with conscience; producing stylish, zero-waste products to liven up your lounge and brighten your bedroom.
We’re in crisis. Plastic crisis.
More than 1 MILLION plastic bottles are bought every minute across the globe and ONLY 9% of all plastic waste produced is being recycled – the rest ends up in the ocean, landfills, and the wider natural environment.
If humans keep polluting at the current rate, scientists have calculated that by 2048 the water will contain more plastic than fish.
