For the eco WARRIOR
KLEAN KANTEEN INSULATED TKWIDE BOTTLE, £27.95,
KLEANKANTEEN.CO.UK
If you know someone who loves the great outdoors, or just loves to take a drink with them on the go, then Klean Kanteen’s insulated water bottles are perfect for keeping drinks piping hot or icy cold while out and about. The double-wall vacuum insulation provides thermal protection, while a rounded lip and interchangeable caps make it easy to drink from.
ROKA ECO BACKPACK, FROM £62.75,
MUSEUMOFLONDONSHOP.CO.UK
Proving that stylish pieces can be created out of waste, Roka’s backpacks are made from plastic bottles, and use less energy than traditional manufacturing methods. Weather-resistant, lightweight and durable, the padded packs feature plenty of pockets and vegan leather pulls to keep everything safely stored, yet accessible, while out and about.
HAIRSTORY CLUB MEMBERSHIP, FROM £98, HAIRSTORY.COM
Your beauty stash can be one of the most difficult areas to make plastic-free and zero-waste swaps… but no fear: that’s where Hairstory comes in. The brand’s subscription service means members receive a refillable dispenser filled with its hero product, New Wash. The ‘no shampoo’ shampoo, which is made with a 100% biodegradable formula, will be topped up when running low, and makes for a convenient and more sustainable swap.
BAMBOO COFFEE CUP AND LUNCH BOX, £6.99 AND £9.99, OXFAM.ORG
Every eco warrior needs a reusable lunch kit, and these boxes and mugs sourced by Oxfam are the perfect items to help banish plastic containers, cups, and lids.
The cup has a handy silicone grip band and a sturdy screw-top lid, while the bamboo lunchbox contains a sealed top and silicone strap, so you can rest assured nothing will spill or leak.
KARST STONE PAPER NOTEPAD, FROM £14,
KARSTSTONEPAPER.COM
We love beautiful stationery, and even more so when it’s crafted with the planet in mind. The Karst collections are sustainably made using recycled stone, and a partly solar-powered production process, meaning no trees, waste, acid, or bleaches are used. The result is a collection of simple and functional notepads that are waterproof, coffee-proof, tear-resistant and recyclable.
For the nature LOVER
