Silicone reusable bags  are often advertised as a better option compared to single-use plastic bags. But what exactly makes them a great alternative? Why should you make the switch and perhaps spend more money purchasing these products? Let’s explore the answers… FDA-approved Unlike plastics, food-grade silicone does not contain harmful chemicals like BPA, latex, or lead, which are known to cause health problems. It is made of a type of rubber that is considered safe. Silicone is non-toxic and odourless; in fact, it's not only used for making reusable bags for food storage but also for various baby products such as teethers and used throughout hospitals in the world. Safe for food Zero waste shops in the UK  sell a non-leaching type of rubber when making  reusable silicone bags  to ensure the highest level of food safety. When the food is heated or microwaved, the silicone bags won't release chemicals and seep into the food. You won't have to worry about the ...

These days, people are not only more conscious about the food they eat but also the products they use on their bodies. No wonder  organic body lotions  have also become popular along with organic food. So what are they? And why are they better than regular skincare lotions?   Made with natural ingredients    Branded lotions are advertised as effective in rejuvenating the skin, making it smoother and younger than it is. But there's one thing that manufacturers don't tell you: Their ingredients are not 100% safe at all. Many of them are potentially hazardous and harmful to the environment and your health. On the other hand,  organic body lotions  are made with natural ingredients that are NOT associated with health risks. There are no endocrine disrupters, carcinogens, and skin absorbing enhancers.   Effective in making skin healthier   Organic body lotions  nourish your body from within. They can make your skin...

Sandwiches are easy to make and convenient to bring anywhere, that’s why they’re popular on-the-go foods. Making your sandwiches could even help you save money and enjoy a healthier meal since you have more control over the portion and the ingredients that go into them. You need to make sure they are packed properly. Rather than using conventional plastic bags, consider sustainable options like  reusable sandwich bags . By ditching sandwich plastic clingfilm, bags, and containers, you could contribute to reducing the waste that goes into the landfill or the seas, and help save the environment. Silicone reusable bags  will keep your sandwich fresher much longer with their leakproof design and airtight seal. They come as Ziploc pouches, which you can get in different sizes. That way, you also have reusable and portable containers for other foods you like to eat with your sandwiches, such as vegetables, nuts, or chips. High-quality  reusable sandwich bags  use safe,...

Taking steps to go eco-friendly can be fun, especially when it comes to making some changes to your household. Rather than using plastic tablet mats, you might want to consider getting those made of jute, a natural fibre that is downright environmentally friendly and sustainable. A  jute table mat  can be an aesthetically pleasing addition to your interior décor. When you browse the selection at a  plastic-free shop  in the  UK , you are likely to find the product in many different sizes and varieties. Why jute? Jute fabric is a great material for frequently used  sustainable homeware , such as table mats. It starts right during its cultivation, as a hectare of that can already absorb up to 15 tonnes of carbon monoxide, and release 11 tonnes of oxygen as it grows for around 100 days. So, it reduces environmental pollution. Jute cultivation also requires minimal pesticides, herbicide, and fertilisers. Jute’s environmental benefits do not stop there....

While we want to ensure that our health and that of our family members is good and in proper shape, we may be unaware that the cleaning products we use can cause health isses through the use of toxic ingredients. Excessive use of harsh chemicals in cleaning products has always been a cause of concern for users' health. If that was not bad enough, their products often come packaged in plastic bottles which, if not recycled correctly, can sit in landfill for decades, or worse, our oceans. Fortunately, now consumers have access to the zero waste and  plastic-free cleaning products in the UK  which contain far less of these harsh chemicals, are safer to use, and come completely plastic free.  No More Polluting Plastics As we know, plastics can take over 500 years to break down, and this chemically and industrially manufactured material is the most common pollutant of our world. Fortunately, the new zero waste and plastic-free cleaning products are entirely free of plast...
