The Wall 4 years, 1 month agoFor this week’s Sustainability Wednesday post I wanted to talk about a very small but very easy change I have made in my life recently…
I have super long hair which as you can imagine requires a lot of shampoo…out of interest I looked in the amount of shampoo and conditioner bottles used in a year and found that on average the UK throws away 520 million plastic haircare bottles annually!
When I next went to buy shampoo I decided to try a solid shampoo bar instead, and I love it. Not only is it easy to use, it means I’m not throwing away the 10 plastic bottles that I would likely use this year just for washing my hair…simple but effective!-
April Edwards replied 4 years, 1 month ago
I’ve been using shampoo bars for years. It’s a great way to start the package free journey!…

Karen Spinner replied 4 years, 1 month ago
A great tip Olivia and there are so many of these bars to choose from now so you can get a product that is both quality and so much kinder to the environment.
… -
I’m envious of your extensive collection here Olivia! What’s also great to see is that with the rising increase of shampoo & body/face wash bars on the market, they are created with more natural ingredients. When we use ‘standard’ shampoos, as it leaves our hair, the chemicals are sent down the drain and out into the water supply. And (quoting what I found online) the chemicals are then often found in a variety of environments such as wastewater, surface water, sediment, groundwater, and drinking water!…

I agree! I’m currently using a brand called Tout Nu, which is an independent brand in the UK, but I also love the Lush bars because they have loads of options for different hair types!…

Thanks for drawing this to our attention, Benjamin Von Wong is an incredible artist / engineer all of his projects really drive the message of the need to be sustainable…

an ever important topic. I was lucky enough to be involved in a call which olivia.grimes@colart.com initiated with a company that might be able to help us in our recycling odyssey. The positive that I took from that conversation was how the external partner mentioned: ‘it is not us using plastic or creating plastic that causes the problem, it is just because we’re rubbish at disposing it properly’. If that is true, the challenge becomes so much more manageable. I truly believe that we are all capable of finding solutions, if the incentive is right. Let’s continue our journey to find ways to reduce our negative footprint on this planet and I for one am very excited about the possible solutions Ajita, Olivia, Cris and team can come up with! …

Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .
“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water. At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.
"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
