Small choices can make a global impact

By using Kinfill products you contribute to a cleaner planet, but there is more you can do. It is our mission to inspire clean living, small choices can make a global impact. We’ve created a list of small things you can do to take your conscious lifestyle to the next level.

1. CUT DOWN YOUR PLASTIC WASTE

Try to find another solution for products that contain single-use plastic. Still, a lot of our essentials come in single-use plastic packaging. Cutting down your plastic waste is one of the most important sustainable choices you can make. Choose for brands that offer reusable packaging, our beautiful forever bottle sets the example.

2. AIR DRY YOUR LAUNDRY

The sun's is out, make sure to use this powerful light source to the fullest. By using less energy, you can help to reduce your carbon emissions.

3. GO (PART-TIME) VEGAN

Reducing the amount of animal-based products in our diet has a significant impact, both for the environment and our health. Sign up for Meatless Monday, a movement that encourages people not to eat meat on Mondays. Eating less animal-based products doesn’t have to mean sacrifice; it will expand your culinary repertoire and improves your overall health.

4. SWITCH TO CLEAN BEAUTY

Switch your cosmetics and skincare for brands that have a small ecological footprint. Most conventional skincare and makeup come in single use plastic tubes, containing formulas with parabens, silicones, etc. The most terrifying problem is that many cosmetic brands still test their products on animals. Brands we love are Milk, Jones Road and Saie.

5. BUY LESS, CHOOSE WELL, MAKE IT LAST

As Vivienne Westwood would say, “buy less, choose well, make it last”. Turn your closet into a capsule wardrobe and choose slow fashion over fast fashion.

6. GO DUTCH!

Switch your car or public transport for a bicycle. Cycling has a carbon footprint of 21g of CO2 - plus, it's a healthy alternative.

7. MORE BUBBLES, LESS PLASTIC

Make it at home, choose for a system that requires no single use plastic. We’ve come to question the need for single-use plastic water bottles in our refrigerators, but why do we keep buying them? The Swedish brand Aarke offers premium home essentials focused on design and sustainability.

8. ON THE GO?

Ditching single-use plastic bottles out of your refrigerator? Resist the temptation while you’re on the go. Take a reusable water bottle or coffee cup with you in your purse. Kinto is a Japanese brand that offers reusable tableware. Their goal is to create inspiring products that assist you in your daily life.

9. BUY LOCAL

Buy local and save on transportation. Shopping locally is always best. Not only are you supporting locals, but you are buying food that hasn’t had to travel very far, which means you’ll also help reduce the amount of carbon being emitted into the atmosphere.
