SuCo is the leading sustainable solutions company, founded in Istanbul, 2015. Taking on the mission to create awareness against single-use plastics, SuCo foldable and reusable water bottle became a game changer and the pioneer brand for individuals who want to stay hydrated in a sustainable fashion, as well as for companies that aim to spread positive environmental impact. They have taken solid action to prevent the consumption of millions of single-use plastic bottles by creating awareness campaigns across Turkey and later launched in the UK to pursue their international goals. Their mission not only focuses on creating environmental awareness, but also on emphasizing social wellbeing through empowering ethical production, female workforce and collaborations ranging from the leading local NGOs to building a water well in Africa. In addition to its hero product, SuCo is always on the lookout for new ways of creating impact; which led to the Watercycle Collection, this time taking action on the plastic bottle waste, recycling and transforming them into sustainable raincoats and accessories.
