Reducing plastic waste

​

Bamboo toothbrush

It has a 100% biodegradable handle

It has 100% recyclable nylon bristles

Some companies allow you to send back the bristles to be recycled

​

​

Soap bar

It does not have the plastic packaging (does not come in bottles)

Every 50g of soap = 250ml bottles

​

reusable make-up remover pads

Reduces use of SINGLE USE plastic

Often bought in plastic packaging so reduces plastic waste

Reduces amount of cotton pads being thrown away - some do not biodegrade due to bleaching and mixing of products!

Energy saving

 

• For incandescent and halogen lights: - turn off when you leave the room

• For CFLs: - turn off if you plan on leaving the room for 15 minutes or more, if you plan on returning within 15 minutes don’t turn off (turning these bulbs off only to turn them back on again within a short amount of time uses more energy than just leaving them on)

• For LEDs: - are not affected

• Unplug devices once fully charged
