Even produce can’t escape endless plastic. Spinach often comes in plastic bags or containers, oranges are packaged in mesh, and plastic produce bags can be found on every street corner. Additionally, stickers are affixed to individual loose items. The farmers market offers the most sustainable alternative to avoid these plastic encumbrances. If a farmers market isn't accessible to you, consider bringing your own reusable produce bags and opting for unpackaged goods to reduce your plastic footprint. #PlasticFreeProduce #FarmersMarketFinds #ReducePlasticWaste

The Government is on a journey to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste by 2042. This month sees another step forward, with a ban on single use plastic cutlery, balloon sticks, polystyrene cups or food containers. It follows an earlier ban on single use plastic straws, stirrers, cotton buds and a tax on plastic bags. (It's worth noting that the new rules stop short of plastic packaging, which is due to be tackled separately). Your brand can support this culture shift for your contacts. Our #SustainableCorporateGift range features reusable cutlery sets including our favourite sporks and we're able to supply cardboard balloon sticks if you need them. All can be printed to reflect your logo and message👉 https://lnkd.in/e76wQ47x Let's embrace this policy change and the more sustainable (brandable) products that are ready to integrate into our lives.

EcoWise #4: Single-use Plastic Single-use plastics refer to items that are designed to be used only once before they are disposed of. These are products made from plastic materials that are intended for a short-term purpose and are typically discarded after a single use. Some examples include: • Plastic bags: Thin, lightweight bags used for carrying groceries or goods. • Bottled water containers: Single-use plastic bottles used for packaging water. • Straws: Disposable plastic straws used for sipping beverages. Do you use single-use plastic items? Share with us if you plan on replacing them to sustainable items in the comments below :) #Ecobee #EcoWise #SingleUsePlastic #PlasticPollution #SustainableLiving #ReduceWaste #SayNoToPlastic #GoGreen #PlasticFreeLife #EnvironmentalAwareness #ReuseRevolution #BeatPlasticPollution #EcoFriendlyChoices #PlasticAlternatives #ZeroWasteLifestyle #ConsciousConsumption #PlanetOverPlastic #GreenLiving #ChooseToRefuse #BreakFreeFromPlastic #SustainabilityJourney #EverydayActions #ThinkGreen #ActNow
