Limited and single use items are a massive waste of resources which
we should consider alternatives to:
- Razors > Replacable blade type razors (preferably a safety razor)
- Pens > Fountain / refillable Pens
- Nappies > Traditional washable
- Tissues > Handkerchief
- Lighters
- Bags
- Gloves
- Aprons
- Food containers
- Plates, Cups and other cutlery > Traditional crockery and cutlery
(plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons, napkins, straws)
There is no such thing as an 'eco-friendly' disposable. The energy
used to produce an item and recycle, where the material is reusable
is not eco-friendly. Biodegradable materials like wood may end up as
compost, but we're consuming trees to provide this resource.
