Every day Eco-Friendly Items to Help You Live Sustainable and Reduce Waste
17 Aug 2022
Switching to eco-friendly habits is surprisingly easy and effective with the help of a few targeted buys. Not only will you help the planet every time you drink, eat, wash or shop, but you will also do so in style, using top quality items that you don’t have to worry about replacing continuously. Here are our must-have products for sustainable living.
Say no to Waste with Water Bottles
Reusable water bottles are not only aesthetically gorgeous, but they help you stay hydrated without needlessly going through all that plastic. Best of all, they are made with high-grade stainless steel and a double-walled vacuum technology, ensuring that your drink stays cold for 24 hours and your hot drinks stay warm for 12 hours. There’s no question about it: it’s an infinitely better alternative to wasteful single-use bottles.
Upgrade your Drinking with an Eco Cup
Choose from a vibrant Frida Kahlo design or a cute Moomin eco cup to brighten your days and indulge in some ultra stylish drinking. Super handy for sipping on-the-go, the eco cup comes with a BPA-free spill resistant clear plastic lid. It also maintains your drink’s temperature so it’s ideal for any type of use, whether it’s a picnic, a long day at the desk or anything in between.
Reusable Shopping Bags
Made from 100% recycled & recyclable material, these shopping bags come in all sizes - foldable, mini, medium and large - and are available in different cool patterns and colours, from classic gingham to funky bananas or gorgeous William Morris designs. Much more than simple bags, they will double up as a fabulous statement accessory! And you’ll be all the happier knowing they’re made from rescued plastic bottles that would have ended up in our oceans.
Cool and Resistant Silver & Bamboo Straws
Switch to silver or bamboo straws for a much more satisfying drinking experience and a more sophisticated appearance. Far more sustainable than plastic and more reliable and resilient than paper straws, our drinking straws come with a cleaning tool to keep them in tiptop shape. Silver straws are made from high quality stainless steel and are dishwasher safe, while bamboo straws are hand crafted from natural bamboo so they have a lovely artisanal feel.
Environment Friendly Solid Shampoos and Soaps
Ditch the bulky packaging and replace your bathroom essentials with eco friendly alternatives. Our triple-milled, paraben-free soaps come in sumptuous scents such as spicy citrus or black pomegranate and are presented in beautifully designed recyclable boxes. You can also try a feminine care bush bar, a nourishing solid shampoo for intimate washing and shaving made from natural, 100% vegan ingredients.
Grab some Reusable Lunch Boxes
One of the most useful and versatile kitchenware items, reusable food boxes always come in handy whether it’s for storing leftovers or carrying your lunch, your snacks, or organising a picnic. Choose from our floral Forest Folk bamboo lunch box, which has a handy and cute pink band to secure it, or the funky Leopard Print design. Both are by Sass & Belle and made from planet-friendly materials.
Save Time and Money with a Ceramic Coffee Filter
Not just sustainable but also charming and elegant, these ceramic coffee filters are handmade and perfectly designed for making a great cup of coffee every time. Part of HKliving’s 70s Ceramics series, there is a cool orange, cream and yellow design and a lovely blue speckled one. They are easy to clean, dishwater proof and they will help you save on paper filters as well as on take away coffees - it’s a win/win!
