Planet B

HANDMADE GOODS FOR A ZERO WASTE LIFE To the average person, "Zero Waste" can seem like a daunting goal.

By providing high quality handmade products themed around sustainability, we at Planet B help you to make small changes to reduce waste and lend Mother Earth a hand! We are here to show you that it isn't as hard or as expensive as you might think to start your journey towards lowering your carbon footprint! My husband and I started our zero waste journey together when we bought our first home 3 ye

ars ago. We found it frustrating that our local grocery stores packaged so many items in plastic and found we were throwing away a lot more than we had realized. Since then, we have made small, incremental steps towards reducing our carbon footprint by finding affordable low-waste or no-waste alternatives to products we bought or used regularly, and hand-making others ourselves. We are nowhere near true "zero" waste, but hope that by continuing to make small steps and sharing our ideas and handmade products with others, we can help to make an impact on the climate crisis.

We’re so excited for our annual Beeswax Wrap Refresher event at Simple Bare Necessities in Sparta, NJ next Sunday 6/28!

We’ll be there 11-3 with our equipment to refresh your existing beeswax wraps or create new ones while you watch… “hibachi” style! We’re also happy to answer your questions about beeswax wraps, honey bees, protecting native pollinators, and more! 🐝

Reserve your space on Simple Bare Necessities website or walk-ins are welcome!

Not around while we’re there but want your wraps refreshed anyway? Drop them off ahead of time and pick up after!

👋🏻If you don’t already know, my name is Kristen and I am the founder, CEO, design director, and primary maker at Planet B.

🐔My husband, Seth, and I have 2 dogs, 5 cats, 5 ducks, and 23 chickens, and are constantly adding more… oops. As a result of having so many pets, we recently launched a line of sustainable pet products Planet B Pet

👗I have a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, and Business, and spent roughly a decade working in and around the fashion industry. I wore just about every hat one can wear while remaining in the same industry and had the rare opportunity to understand what was going on behind the scenes of every stage of bringing a mass-produced product to market. The more time I spent in fashion, the more I recognized the negative impact the companies I worked for were having on the environment.

🌎I felt a calling to give back and repair some of the damage I had played a part in creating, so I began researching more sustainable ways of living and making an effort to reduce my own waste at home… and because things in my household have a tendency to spiral out of control, it resulted in Planet B.

♻️While our output of waste is nowhere near zero, my husband, Seth, and I make an effort every day to take small steps towards reducing our carbon footprint. It is my goal to help educate others on the importance of caring for our planet while showing them that lowering the amount of waste they produce is not as hard, expensive, or intimidating as “zero waste” can sound!

5 fun facts about me:

🌱I love to garden and have been growing my own food in some form for about 12 years.
🐝I am a beekeeper, which is a hobby I now love, but was originally volun-told (gifted) to me.
📚I’m a huge fan of audio books and listen to them on 2x speed - I listened to 166 books in 2025 alone!
🤪I don’t take myself too seriously and am always game for weird/silly nonsense
🧬 I have a genetic condition called Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome that affects the connective tissue in my body and once fractured my spine by putting my shoe on the wrong way
