Started from a Studio at the bottom of their garden and fuelled by a dream to eliminate unnecessary waste, The Waste-Free Home is seeing a real desire to be good. Since starting in mid 2019 the company has expanded their range of products from sustainable and waste-free natural products, adding a range of long-lasting, hard-wearing, repairable, and always beautiful alternatives to the disposable.
Take a look at a recent interview we did for The Natural Parent Magazine...
There is no reason in today’s more informed consumer landscape that we can’t all be making better choices. And with just a little extra care, we can get the desired value out of our products. We asked Shayna at The Waste-Free Home for a few tips on how to get the most value out of your beautiful wooden objects. Here’s what she said.THE PITS! They're a smelly bunch. Naturally, we all want our friends to stay close and our enemies closer, so have no doubt been rather UNnaturally slathering aluminium based antiperspirant deodorants on our underarms to keep the sweat at bay. Unfortunately, the toxic load on our systems from these heavy-metal-laden deodorants is hugely detrimental to our health.
These are my tips for how to drastically minimise your landfill waste. There are options for everyone from Share Waste schemes and bokashi bins, to building your very own compost bin and keeping chickens.
With an average of 1 pack per week for 1 baby (this would be more if you use wipes for messy hands and faces too) and each pack containing 60 wipes, this creates 3120 wipes in total that can only go to landfill*. Instead, I recommend using 3 packs of The Waste-Free Home reusable wipes (1 x Terry and 2 x Muslin) instead of disposable ones.
