My plastic free life: busy single mummy & business owner

This September we are launching some new products as part of the new Plastic-Free Baby Zero Waste range! It’s Zero Waste week from 5th-9th September 2022, and we are celebrating all things zero waste, all September long.

We all need to go further and do more for the environment.  With this in mind, I’ve launched our new Zero Waste collection, which includes … imperfect items that would otherwise not...

  Plastic Free July® is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution! The Plastic Free July website has loads of very helpful ideas for reducing general plastic consumption, and particularly single-use plastics.

  With the sun beginning to come out (slowly but surely!), it's the time of the year that a lot of parents think more and more about potty training their little ones. Warmer weather means that it's easier for little ones to be running around in only their pants while they get used to the idea of going for a wee on the potty instead of in a nappy! I thought it would be useful to put together some eco-friendly tips for plastic-free potty training, as I know that when I was potty training my son, I accepted any hints...
