Welcome to
The Gemba
Oh hey... Welcome to our place, fondly named The Gemba.
A while back, we learnt that in Japanese culture "the gemba" means the place where the action happens.
We thought that it so accurately describes our place, that the name has stuck ever since!
Come on in....
A little bit about
How Simplelifeco started...
Just two of us working out of our spare room in Cardiff and a tiny living room that resembled an understaffed Royal Mail sorting office during the Christmas period - This was Simplelifeco when we started developing our first product in 2019.
Amongst the chaos...
Very soon, we realised just how much single-use plastic was used to both pack and ship products to customers. This was not good news.
It struck us that if, as a new business we had this problem, then other businesses had to be in the same predicament... but on a much larger scale!
We wanted our business to have
no negative impact on the environment.
After months of research, development and implementation of different packaging materials, styles and ideas, we decided that the only way we were happy to package our products was in a way that was as close to zero waste as possible.
In order to make our idea a reality we knew we had to produce our own range of mailing bags from materials that are 100% compostable and sustainably sourced.
Did you know...
Moving forward, having realised that there was a huge need for zero waste packaging, especially for small businesses looking to go the extra mile, we got to work developing our compostable mailing bag collection.
We found the answer
to our single-use plastic problem.
And now we want to share the solution with as many other small businesses as we can!
