Thanks for asking! Well if you saw a few familiar faces in the video above, that’s because we’re still the very same team, with the same ambitious mission and optimistic vision for our future.
Our vision is to make zero-waste easy and accessible for all. Not just in Australia, but globally.
As Tirtyl, we had come so far, but being honest with ourselves - our name had us playing a game of verbal Twister, leaving people scratching their heads on how to spell it or even say it. Hats off to everyone who got it first go.
As a consumer-brand with global ambitions, a difficult name is not a great start. So to further expand our impact as we grow locally and abroad, we made the huge decision to change names, and take the opportunity to refine the look of our products and brand based on customer and market feedback.
So why the change?
What does this mean for Tirtyl customers?
Why the name Skipper?
Skipper by name, Skipper by nature
We want to empower you to be a leader; the captain or Skipper of your own zero-waste journey. In turn, leading others to turn their everyday habits into a force for good, too.
We help you ‘skip’ the waste
Say no more, Skipper.
Connection to the ocean
We chose ‘Skipper’ to keep the ocean connection in our name. We liked that Tirtyl referenced our ‘why’ and we wanted to do the same with our new name.
Leading the transition to just-add-water
As Skippers, we're leading the transition to just-add-water. Locally in Australia, and abroad in the United States too.
Let’s face it, it’s easy to spell
Tirtyl was hard to pronounce and spell. When it comes to brand recall, you need a name people will easily recall and remember.
