The Importance of Reusing Everyday Items for a Sustainable Lifestyle

Only 44.4% of household waste was recycled in England in 2024, meaning more than half of all waste is still sent to landfills

This shocking stat alone just shows the importance of reusing everyday household items instead of throwing them away.

Reducing waste in your home can sometimes feel like an uphill struggle, especially if you have pets & children to take care of. With the mass amounts of toys, food & clothing flying around households, it is no wonder people struggle to find the time to reduce waste. 

Well, in today's blog, we want to help with this. You don't have to struggle anymore, as long as you follow our ultimate checklist for reducing your waste. (That is a promise not a threat)

We know we can be very demanding at times, but it is only because we care! 

You might have heard the term 'Fast Fashion' being bashed around in the past 5-10 years, but, what is fast fashion? 

Well, it isn't where you go to a H&M Drivethru and order 3 medium jumpers with an extra large bucket hat. Fast fashion actually refers to the rapid production of inexpensive clothing that mimics the latest fashion trends...bucket hats being a prime example. 

Brands like Zara, H&M, Primark, Missguided and plenty of others have all made this model very popular by offering trendy designs at extremely low prices, but unfortunately, low prices equals low quality...meaning after a few wears it will end up thrown away & discarded on the landfill. 

With the UK and world population, growing minute by minute, day by day, the amount of stomachs that needs filling is growing too, which means a lot more food floating around the nation then ever before.

Unfortunately, wrong! 

Businesses around the UK and the world, have to ensure that if they are ever dealing with hazardous waste, that they do so by following the rules and safely handling any waste that could be classed as hazardous. 

In this guide, we will be giving you the full run down on: What waste is classed as hazardous. How to handle this waste & the punishments if any company is caught mishandling this.

Safety goggles on please...it could get dangerous!
