Harry claimed he signed on and invested due to the company’s strong sustainability mission, having been a fan of the products.
“What impressed me most about Our Pure Planet is not only the technology and high quality of the product but the combination of creating a positive change without having to change people’s behaviours. I’m a family man and it’s important to me that the legacy I leave my children contributes to a better future for them.”
Our Pure Planet was launch in Sydney in 2018 by James Mcphie and Stephen McKinnon, after identifying a gap in the electronic industry.
James said, “Around eight million pieces of plastic end up in the ocean each day, which has devastating impacts on our wildlife. It didn’t make sense there wasn’t an eco-friendly option for electronics, given everyone owns them, and 90 per cent of consumers would switch brands for a worthwhile cause.”
They developed Our Pure Planet, offering headphones, earphones, speakers and charging cables, operating with 100% carbon neutrality.
For every product bought, the company removes double the amount of plastic from ending up in the oceans surrounding Haiti, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Through this, it has become 200% plastic regenerative, and has prevented 110,000KG of plastic ending up in the ocean during the last year.
James continued, “If I asked 10 of my mates if they’d switch to a brand that was eco-friendly, all of them would say yes. If I asked them to do two or three things differently, I’d probably have nine drop off. This is why we’ve committed not only making our products sustainable, but to making sure they work really well. We’re thrilled to have someone as high calibre as Harry Kane join us on our mission.”
Harry said his favourite product was the headphones, used for travelling and amping himself up before a game.
“I always listen to music before I go out onto the pitch. It’s usually an upbeat song that gets me pumped for the game. I’ve played Lucenzo and Dom Omar ‘Danza Kuduro’ to help get me motivated. This song brings back memories of growing up with friends and puts me in a happy place for the game.”
