Do you know how your clothes, shoes, and accessories were produced? In many cases, with lots of resources and with tons of waste creation. Each time a new material is created, there is a whole end to end process involved in getting the raw material, transporting it to factories, processing it with machines, manufacturing the end product from it, packaging, shipping and so on.
The production of traditional leather hurts the animals, the environment, the workers who manufacture it, and the people who live near such manufacturing houses. Kudos to innovations in sustainable designs that we have now many choices of vegan leather available.
We don't want to use single-use plastic but it's also not practical to always carry reusable cutlery with us. Biodegradable cutlery is a perfect solution to this dilemma. One such option is made from sugarcane waste without adding any harmful chemicals in the process. It’s sturdy, water resistant, oil resistant, and microwave-safe.
What exactly is upcycling, downcycling, recycling? When you reuse an existing item and make something of higher value from it than the original item, it is called upcycling.
When you see a cute looking top in the store, what are the first few things that come to your mind? Its style, color, look, and price? And if it is on a promotion, which is not uncommon, you might end up buying not just one but may be two or more of such tops! That’s the fast fashion trend these days; deals everyday and everywhere, buy clothes, wear them a few times, keep them in the closet for some time, and finally toss them in a donation bin while doing the next spring clean-up!
