As the old saying goes: “Tidy space, tidy mind.” Having a clutter-free home makes all the difference – but with a clean space often comes a polluted environment. We’re here to change that. 

Plastic pollution is on the rise – and it’s no surprise! With half of all plastics ever manufactured being produced in the last 15 years, it’s clear the planet has a pressing plastic problem that needs to be addressed. So it’s time to swap out those plastic tubs and say hello to more sustainable storage solutions that will help to clean up your space & the planet. 

Practical & stylish? Here’s why rattan is all the rage (+ here to stay)

Whether you’re trawling TikTok, perusing Pinterest or enjoying a good old-fashioned flick through a magazine, there’s every likelihood that sooner or later, you’ll come across some form of rattan storage.

This stylish plastic-free storage solution works from the outside in, being a firm favourite for outdoor storage right through to laundry baskets and bedroom storage chests.

Seagrass storage

If you’re on the hunt for a sustainable storage solution to stow away those thick winter blankets or conceal your dirty laundry, seagrass is the thing for you. When it comes to seagrass storage, the world is your oyster. You’ll find them everywhere from the bathroom and bedroom to the study and kitchen.

Alexa, play ‘Heart of Glass’

Glass has our heart. Sleek, sustainable and super easy to store in kitchens, bathrooms and more! Glass jars and bottles make great storage containers for food as unlike plastic, they have a non-porous surface meaning they don’t absorb. Glass can also withstand high temperatures without melting or breaking, meaning you can get them squeaky clean without fear of them falling victim to your dishwasher and use them again, and again, and again. 

Best of all, you can often reuse glass containers from existing products, meaning your new plastic-free storage solution could very well be free. And once all is said and done, you can recycle your broken or worn glass containers with ease. 

Did you know: glass can be recycled forever – yep, you read that right. It’s one of the few materials that can be recycled again and again without wearing out or losing its quality.

Whether you opt for pre-made wooden crates or storage units or choose to upcycle wooden palettes and the like, wood makes for a reliable plastic-free storage alternative that will help to protect your belongings and the planet. 

Did you know: wood is a great choice for people looking to add a personal touch to their storage. Just prime up and paint away! You can even update the hardware to match your aesthetic.
