Eco-Friendly Back To School Ideas
As the back-to-school season approaches, it's the perfect time for students and parents alike to consider adopting eco-friendly alternatives to traditional school supplies. By making small changes in the products we choose, we can contribute to a healthier planet and instil valuable lessons about sustainability in the younger generation. In this article, we'll explore some bright eco-friendly back-to-school ideas that are both practical and planet-friendly.
Multi-purpose Slip Cases – Organise and Protect
Keeping our everyday essentials organised and protected is essential for any student. Instead of opting for single-use plastic pouches or disposable bags, consider investing in multi-purpose slip cases. These cases come with a snap-shut top, making them perfect for storing phones, glasses, pens, and other necessities. Look for eco-friendly options made from sustainable materials that are durable and long-lasting. We have 12 designs of eco-conscious slip cases to choose from.
Handmade Sketchbooks/Notebooks – Nurture Creativity Sustainably
For the creative minds who love to jot down their ideas, thoughts, and doodles, a sustainable alternative to conventional notebooks is a must. Handmade sketchbooks and notebooks are not only beautiful but also made with FSC certified, thick, ivory-colour paper. These notebooks are lovingly hand-bound with fabric-covered hardbacks, giving them a unique and charming appeal. Check out our selection of artistic and environmentally responsible notebooks.
Zipper Pouches – Durable and Versatile
Zipper pouches are versatile companions for any student. They can store pens, pencils, art supplies, math sets, and much more. Instead of opting for single-use plastic pouches, choose eco-friendly alternatives made from durable and tactile stretchy neoprene fabric. Not only are they sustainable, but they also come in various eye-catching designs that appeal to students of all ages. Discover our collection of super fun and durable zipper pouches that come in a whopping 36 designs!
Keep-Cool Thermal Bottles – Stay Hydrated Sustainably
Hydration is essential for a productive day at school, but disposable plastic bottles can be harmful to the environment. Invest in Keep-Cool Thermal Bottles made from high-grade stainless steel with a 500ml capacity and helps reduce 2.5bn disposable cups thrown away each year. These bottles are designed to keep hot drinks warm and cold drinks cool, making them perfect for year-round use. By choosing reusable thermal bottles over disposable alternatives, students can significantly reduce their plastic waste.
