For years, the cleaning industry has forced a compromise: you could have a clean home, but it often came at the cost of a plastic-polluted planet. Today, by partnering with Ocean Saver, we’re breaking that cycle. Together, we’ve created the UK’s first and only plastic-free cleaning spray bottle.
Meet the Product: This is Not a Plastic Bottle
It looks like plastic. It performs like plastic. But it is entirely compostable.
Ocean Saver’s new Antibacterial Surface Cleaner doesn't just protect your home with a powerful formula; it protects our oceans by existing outside the traditional plastic waste stream. Scented with Sea Mist & Coastal Flowers, bringing the Ocean into your living space without the environmental guilt.
The bottle is crafted from Vivomer, our breakthrough proprietary biomaterial. Unlike traditional plastics that never degrade, Vivomer is truly circular.
Refill it: Use it time and time again with Ocean Saver’s signature refills.
Bin it or compost it: When the bottle finally reaches the end of its life, you can compost it at home. It leaves zero trace and zero microplastics.
The Science: Why Bacteria are the Heroes
There is a common misconception that all bacteria are "bad." In reality, you are home to a community of over 38 trillion bacteria that are essential to your health.
At Shellworks, we work with these microscopic superstars. Vivomer is grown by microorganisms that "eat" plant matter and produce this sturdy, versatile material as a byproduct. We aren’t just making packaging; we’re partnering with nature to create a material that the Earth actually knows how to digest.
Two Innovators, One Shared Mission
This partnership was a natural fit. Ocean Saver has already saved millions of pieces of plastic and thousands of litres of harmful chemicals from our waters. With their ambitious 2028 goal to save 100 million pieces of plastic and invest £300k in UK ocean restoration, they needed a packaging solution that matched their grit.
Ocean Saver’s wildly effective products meet Shellworks’ breakthrough biomaterial to create a bottle that simply wasn’t possible until now. By combining their formulas with our plastic-free bottle, we’ve created a product that costs the same as big-name brands and less than glass or aluminum alternatives.
The Shellworks team has been busy behind the scenes showcasing the degradation process of these bottles to prove that "zero trace" isn't just a marketing slogan - it’s a scientific reality.How to get involved

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes this the best sustainable cleaning spray in the UK?
Unlike traditional "eco-friendly" brands that still rely on recyclable plastic (which often ends up in landfills), the Shellworks x Ocean Saver bottle is 100% plastic-free. It uses Vivomer, a carbon-neutral biomaterial that is home-compostable, meaning it breaks down naturally without leaving behind harmful microplastics.
2. Is this a refillable cleaning bottle or a single-use product?
It is designed for longevity. You can use this refillable spray bottle indefinitely with Ocean Saver’s concentrated cleaning drops. By switching to a refill system, you aren't just using a better bottle - you’re actively reducing the carbon emissions associated with transporting heavy, water-filled cleaning products.
3. How do I dispose of my compostable cleaning bottle?
When the bottle eventually reaches the end of its life, you don't need a special industrial facility. You can simply place it in your home compost bin or food waste. Because the material (Vivomer) is made by bacteria, microorganisms in the soil will "eat" the bottle, returning it to the earth in a truly circular waste cycle.
