About Better Earth

Our products are designed to meet the most demanding sustainability requirements at the highest quality and best price. But we don’t stop there. Driven by our three core pillars: sustainability, innovation and experience, we work diligently to catalyze environmental initiatives across our supply chain and educate stakeholders about how we can close the loop on our products and bolster the circular economy.

Our Culture

Our mission is to be “purists” that do not waiver from our responsibilities as environmental stewards first. By providing on-the-job training, a fun work environment and opportunities for growth, we invest in the people that make this mission possible.

We love creative thinkers who feel comfortable bringing their whole self, voice and perspective to work each day. To this end, over three-quarters of Better Earth’s corporate team are women or BIPOC (black, indigenous and/or persons of color).

We operate in a fast-paced environment, which means we need team players that are comfortable rolling up their sleeves, speaking up, asking questions, innovating, building process, pivoting when necessary, and love learning.

(PS: We also love goofy jokes, cooking, gardening, the outdoors, work-life balance, and big ideas.)
