Sustainability and environmental issues affect our coastal location more than most, and we see the effects that sea plastic, climate change, and the impacts this is having on our natural environment first hand. This is why we created Bank House Bruck.

This label showcases all of our products created in house at The Craft Hub that are either created using found 'Bruck' (Orcadian for Rubbish) from our local beaches; including sea plastic, ghost nets, driftwood etc; as well as items that are no longer wanted or needed on the island. We try and upcycle these materials and items in a creative and sustainable manner that showcase the full potential of such finds.

When customers buy from the Bank House Bruck range not only are they purchasing an exciting, innovative item; but this funds us further into continuing our work that directly impacts our beautiful island- such as beach-cleans, and workshops to raise awareness and inspiration that will go someway in helping limit the impacts of climate change, sea plastic, and the threat of the natural environment being damaged.

​

We conduct monthly beach cleans/surveys on the island and record the marine litter we find. We then submit the data to Marine Conservation Society for their records. We also try and use as much of the litter we find in a creative way instead of simply sending it all to landfill.
