Party Without Plastic®, the trailblazing small business marketplace dedicated to eco-friendly party solutions is forging ahead with plans to make 2025 the year that really changes how special occasions are celebrated – making sustainability the new standard for parties everywhere.
Since launching in Spring 2024, the company has been on a mission to transform the way people celebrate by offering a curated selection of stylish, plastic-free party supplies from ethically sourced and environmentally responsible UK small business suppliers. From compostable tableware to reusable decorations, the marketplace ensures that hosting a beautiful event doesn’t come at the cost of the planet, whilst supporting small businesses and their families.
Chosen as one of the Small Business Sunday (#SBS) winners by Theo Paphitis in June 2024 just 2 months after launching, then going on to win the award of ‘People’s Choice’ by The Pitch UK in November 2024 beating over 500 shortlisted businesses from across the UK, the company is already being recognised for exceptional environmental stewardship, and innovation, and inspiring consumers to make greener choices.
“Our goal has always been to make sustainable celebrations effortless and accessible,” said Lorraine Allman, founder of Party Without Plastic®. Having the backing of Theo Paphitis and the #SBSWinners community has been game changing for us at such an early stage of the business. Winning the People’s Choice award is also a testament to the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives and the incredible community of vendors and customers who share our vision.”
With sustainability at the forefront of the event planning industry, Party Without Plastic® goes into 2025 with ambitious plans to expand its offering, forging new partnerships and collaborations, and an exciting new marketplace development. Founder Lorraine Allman also recently passed the IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management and says:
“There’s so much to look forward to this year as we work towards our Gold status of Plastic-Free Champions and I ensure that the learning from my IEMA studies are put in to practice in the business to give consumers the confidence they need that their purchases will not damage the planet, and genuinely support small business.”
