Start with what you own
Work out whether cleaning, maintenance or a suitable replacement part would solve the problem before buying a whole new product.
Less waste
More useful purchases, clearer claims and fewer things destined for the cupboard.
Buying less is also an option.
A useful place to start.
Ask what the claim means
Look for a specific material, percentage or certification behind words such as sustainable. A green packet is a colour choice.
Check disposal locally
Read the product instructions and your local collection guidance. A general recycling claim does not tell you what your collection point accepts.
We’re building our first guides for this section. These are starting points, not a claim that we’ve tested every product.
