The annual Arbor Day reminds people of the importance of protecting the environment. From the Australian fires last year to the new type of pneumonia, all of them prove that nature is fighting back against human beings, and it once again makes people deeply feel that protecting the environment can no longer wait for the earth to issue a warning before acting.
In fact, many daily necessities brands have also joined the ranks, utilizing design ingenuity to carry out the sustainable transformation of daily necessities, leading people to become re-aware of their responsibilities as consumers.
This time, five brands have been sorted out here, hoping that these inspiring initiatives can bring new proposals to your green lifestyle.
1. Tomioka Cleaning
"Tomioka Laundromat" is a long-established shop located in Hokkaido, Japan. It has a history of 70 years and is the most trustworthy laundromat in the hearts of local people.
Since the store was taken over by the third generation of the family, the store has started from the LOGO, and gradually built a laundry shop that pursues environmental protection and pays attention to daily life. No matter who you are, you are determined to become "the cutest dry cleaner in the world."
With the concept of "Hope to become a laundry that is friendly to the skin, clothes and the earth of our customers", "Tomioka Laundry" never uses oil that is harmful to the environment for dry cleaning in the factory, and all detergents are natural Yes, the clothes after washing are miraculously whiter and leave a fresh and dry smell.
2. BAGGU
This is a fashionable, environmentally friendly bag designed by BAGGU, an environmental brand from New York, USA. BAGGU is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "bag," giving it a pleasant and fresh feeling.
The brand's founder, Emily Sugihara, was unable to find a strong, environmentally friendly, and aesthetically pleasing bag for her mother, who is passionate about environmental protection, so she decided to design it herself as a gift.
In terms of material selection, BAGGU selected a special nylon material that can be decomposed, recycled, and remade countless times. If the bag is not in use, it can be folded into a toast-like palm size without taking up any space.
3. PUEBCO
This grocery brand from Japan was established in 2007. The concept of "beautiful things cannot just die like this", emphasizes environmental protection and recycling of old things, so that each product reveals a strong sense of story.
The importance of storage to space is self-evident. PUEBCO has naturally and thoughtfully launched this series of storage bags for military tarpaulins. From tissue boxes to rectangular/cylindrical storage bags, and lunch bags, different sizes can easily meet different storage requirements.
It is not easy to get dirty, and there are handles on both sides for easy movement. It can be placed in any corner of the home at will, which is environmentally friendly and practical.
4. FORGO
FORGO, an environmental care brand launched by the famous Swedish design studio Form Us With Love uses "Choose Less" as its slogan, trying to find a solution for the improvement of the personal care products industry full of excessive waste.
Different from common hand sanitisers, FORGO's hand sanitiser exists in the form of a powder of only over 10 grams. When using it, you only need to add 250 ml of hot water, shake well, and use it.
