An ethical home cleaning brand that was founded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic was last night recognised for its innovation and growth with an award presented by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Pleasant State is one of four Australian and New Zealand businesses to win this year’s Trans-Tasman Innovation and Growth Awards, which were presented at the 2022 Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum (ANZLF) event taking place in Sydney this week.
Founded by Queensland entrepreneurs Ami Bateman and Sian Murray in early 2020, Pleasant State makes non-toxic and zero-waste dissolvable cleaning bars.
In the space of two years, Pleasant State products have made their way into more than 16,000 homes, and the business says it has saved more than 85,000 plastic bottles from entering landfill.
