Lush X Studio Wood Green Hub Tour
A Day at Lush’s Green Hub: Studio Wood’s First Behind-the-Scenes Gathering
Studio Wood X Lush Green Hub Tour Gathering
On the 8th of April, Studio Wood hosted a special behind-the-scenes tour of Lush’s pioneering Green Hub in Poole, Dorset. The small gathering was designed to bring like minded, forward-thinking brands together in a space rooted in purpose, curiosity and circular thinking….LUSH!
On this occasion, we teamed up with the brilliant crew at Lush Cosmetics to open the doors to their innovative Green Hub, an impressive closed-loop facility where waste is reimagined as resource, and sustainability is not just a goal, but a practice. It was a chance for friends of the studio to step inside the Lush world and see what happens when values lead design and operations from the inside out.

We were thrilled to welcome team members from brands doing meaningful work across their own industries - including Chilly’s, Seep, Kenwood, SURI and Purdy & Figg. It was a day of shared ideas, mutual inspiration, and yes, plenty of that unmistakable Lush scent.
The day began with teas, coffees, and warm welcomes from Studio Wood’s MD, Sophie, and Lush’s Packaging and R&D Manager, Brigitte. That was followed by a guided tour of the Green Hub led by Graeme from the Lush Green Hub team, offering an in-depth look at how the brand is redefining waste, from recycling and repurposing to clever material innovations.
Open discussions whilst on the tour amongst some of the guests
After the tour, guests were invited to hear from several key members of the Lush team: Ruth (Environmental Partner), Chris (Packaging Buyer), and Brigitte (Packaging and R&D Manager), who each shared their insight into how sustainability threads through every decision Lush makes - from sourcing and systems to packaging and partnerships.
We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us, and especially to the team at Lush for being such generous, open hosts. Here’s to more honest conversations, more shared learnings, and more days like this.
Once again, we are so grateful for the support and feedback everyone has sent us following the tour. We cannot thank our speakers Ruth, Brigitte and Chris enough for sharing their challenges and inspiring the room and also to the whole Lush Green Hub team for hosting with us.
