Sustainable Living With Eco-Friendly Products

Eco-Friendly Products Help Families Lead a More Sustainable Lifestyle

Reduce harm on the environment by switching to eco-friendly products

We all know that single-use plastic products and packaging have a detrimental impact on the environment, as does our use of products that are carbon-intensive to manufacture or transport. A recent study by Deloitte has found that we've grown more aware of the environmental harm caused by our use of these products during the pandemic over the past couple of years. As a result, more and more people are taking steps to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, such as limiting the use of single-use plastic and buying groceries locally while they are in season.

‘Sustainable consumerism’ has become somewhat of a buzzword in recent years, through this increased awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment.

One of the factors that has inhibited the efforts to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle is that the range of eco-friendly products, i.e. those that don't harm the environment in their manufacture, use and 'afterlife', has historically been very limited, and the typical premium in purchase price has often placed them out of affordable reach for most families.

Breaking the mould of these traditional limitations is Brighton-based eco-friendly store, Ecolutions. Following many months of research on the harmful impact caused by everyday household items, Ecolutions Managing Director Craig Harwood has sourced a wide variety of sustainable household, personal care and general products as eco-friendly alternatives at more affordable prices to help more British families reduce their impact on the environment. You can learn more about Ecolutions and their extensive eco-friendly product range by visiting their website.

We've partnered with Ecolutions to introduce a growing range of eco-friendly products to our store. Our first such product addition addresses the daily routine of washing up. Typically, flimsy single-use plastic dish brushes and synthetic washing up cloths are used for this and thankfully there is now an eco-friendly alternative. Our Eco-Friendly Bamboo Dish Brush Set is sustainable and ethically sourced and comes with everything you need to make the switch to a zero waste washing-up routine:

This vegan-friendly and organic 6-piece set contains brushes made from fast-growing bamboo and natural coconut fibres and a hemp & organic cotton kitchen cloth. Once they reach the end of their life, all items are fully biodegradable.

We'll add more sustainable living products to our eco-friendly section over time.
