What To Buy and How To Use It ..!!

Waste reduction starts at the supermarket. By making slight alterations to your shopping list you can significantly reduce the amount of waste created in and around the home.

Buy only what you need

Reduce unnecessary waste by avoiding those pointless purchases. Items that rarely get used can be borrowed or shared with others.

Buy reusable products

Buy bottles and rechargeable batteries instead of paper cans and ordinary batteries. Items like these create very little waste, as they don’t have to be thrown away after they have been used just once.

Buy "all-purpose" materials

Instead of buying many different ones for each different job.

Buy products with little packaging

So that less packaging ends up in your rubbish bin. For those items you use regularly, buy them in bulk instead of in smaller amounts. This will save you money as well as reduce waste.

Donate unwanted materials

Sell or give away unwanted items. Reduce waste by donating unwanted items to family, friends or neighbours. You could even sell your possessions in a car-boot sale and earn some extra cash.

Reduce paper wastes
