Our Sustainability Mission: Home Accessories with a Purpose

Our Commitment to a Cleaner World:Join Us in Rescuing 2 Bottles with Each Order

At What a Host Home, sustainability is woven into everything we do. As specialists in metal home accessories, from elegant candle holders and stylish brass coasters to sleek serving tray sand durable cutlery sets; we are dedicated to creating products that are not only beautifully designed but also environmentally responsible.

We believe that responsible design means more than quality craftsmanship. That’s why, with every order, we commit to rescuing two plastic bottles from our oceans through our partnership with Greenspark x PlasticBank, a global leader in plastic waste reduction. PlasticBank has removed over 16 million kilograms of plastic from oceans worldwide and supports over 11,000 waste collectors and their families by creating vital economic opportunities in vulnerable communities. By choosing our handcrafted candle holders, coasters, serving trays, and cutlery sets, you’re not only investing in long-lasting, sustainable home accessories made from responsibly sourced materials like brass, stainless steel, iron, wood, marble, and travertine, but you’re also contributing directly to this impactful environmental and social mission.

Beyond Plastic Rescue: Empowering Communities and Protecting Oceans

PlasticBank's approach is not only about removing plastic from the ocean, but it also addresses the critical issue of poverty. Their program empowers local communities across countries like Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Brazil by providing economic opportunities through the collection of plastic waste. By supporting PlasticBank, we are not only contributing to environmental sustainability but also helping improve the lives of individuals in impoverished regions. Once PlasticBank rescues these bottles from our oceans, they embark on a transformative journey. These collected plastics are cleaned, sorted, and repurposed into valuable materials, fostering the growth of local businesses and supporting communities in need.

Empowering Through Education

PlasticBank runs literacy programs specifically designed for collectors who cannot read or write, providing them with essential skills and tools to improve their lives. The story of Lise Nassisse highlights how access to literacy and education can fundamentally change the course of a woman’s life and that of her family. By supporting these educational initiatives, PlasticBank is helping unlock newfound confidence, opportunity, and hope for entire communities. These programs don’t just change lives today; they shape a stronger, more empowered future for the next generation. We invite you to watch Lise Nassisse’s story in the video below, one of thousands of inspiring journeys that demonstrate why investing in education truly matters.
