when it comes down to it, we're here to make products that work, for you and for the planet, ones that are as easy on the eyes as they are on the nose. it's a tall order but we wouldn't want to do anything else.

At method, we're happy about what we do. Sometimes we're even a little giddy. But when it comes to the effectiveness of our products, we're dead serious. They work. How could we be happy if they didn't? Our cleaners use powerful formulas made with naturally derived surfactants that work by dissolving and removing dirt. Our team of green chefs (aka formulation chemists + product designers), ensure that our products are not only highly innovative, but also highly effective.

We're in business to change business. At method, we see our work as an amazing opportunity to redesign how cleaning products are made and used, and how businesses can integrate sustainability. Our challenge is to make sure that every product we send out into the world is a little agent of environmental change, using safe and sustainable materials and manufactured responsibly. Little green soldiers in the battle of doing-well-by-doing-good, if you will. This is why we make our bottles from 100% recycled plastic, why we constantly seek to reduce the carbon emitted by our business (and why we offset the remainder), why we never test on animals, why we design innovative products using natural, renewable ingredients, and why we're transparent about the ingredients we use, how we make our products, and what our track record is as a green business.

Most companies treat product design like it ain't no thang. At method, we believe product design is a thang. It's very much a thang. So when we were figuring out how to package our products, we enlisted world-renowned designer Joshua Handy to sculpt some of the finest pieces of recyclable plastic art this side of MoMA. Form, meet function. Function, form. You two play nice.
