Tools, Insight & Inspiration From Your Recycling Guide

Recycle, Reuse & Reduce

Recycling tools for home use.

Go Green and Recycle

Separate recyclables from your trash with a convenient recycling bin. Such as a dual trash can with two compartments. By using these tools you prevent the loss of recyclable materials.

Go Green and Reuse

Plastic disposables are so non-stylish. Be fashionable and bring your own beautiful and reusable water bottle, coffee cup or shopping bag. Make a trendy statement and stop plastic pollution.

Go Green and Reduce

How do you reduce plastics and prevent plastic pollution? The answer is: use more natural resources. Such as paper straws, bamboo tooth brushes and metal safety razors.

Why is a green lifestyle important?

Nature can’t digest plastics because this material is not biodegradable. We can use much more natural resources that are biodegradable by nature itself. Because not 100% of what we consume will be collected or recycled.

Reduce plastic pollution

Plastics can not be digested or dissolved by water

It turns out that several chemical properties of water make it indispensable for living creatures. Not only can water dissolve nearly anything, but it is also one of only a few materials that can exist as solid, liquid and gas within a relatively narrow range of temperatures (source: Livescience.com).

Plastic does not belong in the ocean

International cooperation is needed. You can join forces with organisations as the Plastic Pollution Coalition or the Plastic Soup Foundation.

As an average person drinks 60,000 liters in a lifetime (source: Illustrative mathematics.org) we are recycling water ourselves.

While polluting our oceans we are poisoning our children and grandchildren. Water is natures most vital resource. Let’s work together to prevent further pollution of our oceans.
