Switch To Compostable Kitchen Items 

Compostable products are the future! For example, these compostable cleaning cloths are a fantastic alternative to traditional cleaning cloths made from synthetic materials that are not even biodegradable. Whereas these cloths are made of renewable sources (70% cellulose & 30% cotton), making them 100% natural.

By switching to compostable cleaning cloths, you can significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, and contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. 

Additionally, compostable cleaning cloths are often more durable and absorbent than traditional cleaning cloths, making them a practical and effective choice for your cleaning needs.

Ditch Throw Away Plastic

Throw away plastic is a huge problem all across the world, but thankfully there is an increasing number of alternative products now available. Check out this reusable food wrap that is the perfect replacement for cling film. 

It’s ideal for wrapping all kinds of food in such as sandwiches, bagels, cheese and so much more! All you have to do is wash and reuse time and time again. 

Replace Makeup Wipes With Reusable Pads

It’s time to forget about makeup wipes and up your game with these reusable makeup pads. This pack of seven reusable cotton pads are blissfully soft, pure brushed cotton and double layered. Just pop them in the wash to clean and then use them all over again.
