Home accessories with a conscience With the look and feel of real wool, all of Weaver Green’s products – from rugs and baskets to blankets and throws – are made from recycled plastic bottles. This means as well as looking great, they’re hard-wearing, faderesistant and easy to clean (and moths and dust mites don’t like them one bit!). Iris rug in Teal, from £138, Weaver Green
Ditch make-up remover pads Cotton pads and wet wipes are often the main culprits for sewer fatbergs. Plus, growing non-organic cotton contributes to pollution. We love this reusable alternative. Face Halo, £7, Boots
Straws, £7 for three, Urban Outfitters
COOL DOWN These Attenboroughinspired bottles keep drinks chilled all day. Bottle, £35, John Lewis & Partners
Switch to bamboo loo roll Bumboo comes wrapped in paper and is available in bulk, £40 for 48 rolls, delivered to your door. Multi-use food storage bags Made from platinum-grade silicone, these brilliant multipurpose Stasher storage bags are a musthave for every kitchen. Use them for freezing leftovers, storing dry goods, taking your sandwich to work, poaching or steaming food – or anything else you’d usually use cling film or a ziplock bag for. Stasher storage bags, £20 each, John Lewis & Partners
Developed in-house by the Lights4Fun design team, TruGlow combines a battery-powered LED flickering candle light with an ivory wax outer shell to make it look like the real thing. Unlike a real candle’s average 40 hour burning time, this beauty will ‘burn’ for around 600 hours before the batteries need replacing. Genius.
With a handle made from biodegradable bamboo and charcoal bristles that encourage more effective plaque removal, this super smart toothbrush is an eco no-brainer.
