Replace disposable hand warmers
"After the disposable hand warmers are used up, they are treated as general garbage and buried in the garbage dumping area, which will increase the burden on the landfill.
Besides, the powders are made of different metals and chemicals, which may contaminate soil and water after being dumped in landfills.
Therefore, in order to protect the environment, I use a warm water bag to keep myself warm on cold winter days, it is very comfortable to use, and I really recommend it to you!"

Bring my own cup and pouch
I bring my own cup when I buy drinks to reduce the use of plastic cups , as they can only be used once.For example , when I buy bubble tea , I will ask the waiter to put the bubble tea in my own cup and not to use plastic cups .
This pouch is made of 65% of recycled cotton, it is strong and durable.It can be used for multiple times.Also,it helps to prevent the buildup of greenhouse gases.

Reduce the use of disposable cutlery
I usually bring my own utensils with me everyday, so that I can reduce the use of single-use plastic products (including disposable plastic forks and spoons).
I can clean my utensils using the environmentally-friendly detergent available in the school.

Wish to replace your backpack?
Most of the materials making the backpack in the photos is made of rPET. This means it comes from recycled PET (Plastic No.1). If you need to replace you school bag, you may consider having a backpack which is made of recycled material.
The PET bottles we recycled under our Plastic Recycling Programme are also converted into other rPET products.
