As our concern for the environment increases, you may be wondering how you can do your bit to "Go Green". We're all looking for ways to be more mindful, particularly on a business level. In this article, we've compiled a few recommendations on how you can make a small, but significant difference! 

Sustainable Bedding 

Luxury Just Like Down Pillow

With sustainability in mind, we have created a luxurious pillow made from recycled materials whilst not compromising on luxury.This is the perfect option to help you do your bit for the planet.

The advanced Dacron Comforel Eco filling of our Luxury Just Like Down Pillow  is made from recycled materials to offer a shape-retaining, comfortable and non-allergenic pillow that replicates the feeling of pure down.

We import this filling from Germany then hand fill and stitch the 233-thread-count cotton cases in Scotland, meaning that these pillows have one of the lowest levels of transport miles and carbon emissions of any available.

These hotel quality pillows are perfect for your holiday cottage, hotel or bed and breakfast.  

Luxury Just Like Down Mattress Topper

Just like our luxurious pillows, our Luxury Just Like Down Mattress Topper is made with sustainable materials and we're proud to say that the origin of every fibre bale is fully traceable, and the process of creating the unique filling of Dacron Comforel Eco from recycled bottles has been recognised by international ecological bodies.

The 7cm deep filling is incredibly soft and comfortable and will help you have a restful night’s sleep.  If you’d like to see more of our sustainable bedding products, click here to see our full range. 

Cleaning Products

Another way you can go green is by swapping out your traditional cleaning products for sustainable alternatives. 

Bright Earth has a wide range of cleaning products which are perfect for everyday use around your holiday let, hotel or holiday cottage. They are all made in the UK with vegan, cruelty-free and biodegradable ingredients. All bottles and containers are made from recycled plastic with 10% of profits donated to charity. You can choose from a variety of great ethical products such as their washing up liquid and multi-purpose cleaner. 

Make the switch to refillable toiletries

Moving from miniature to refillable toiletries means your guests won't be disposing of single-use plastic bottles at the end of their stay. 

Our range of refillable 300ml bottles look and smell great and the 5L bulk containers offer easy and cost-effective refilling from as little as 66p per refill!

These are perfect for refilling your bottles, saving money by buying in bulk, all whilst getting great quality products and doing your part to help the planet.

By buying in bulk, you can reduce the amount of plastic waste produced by smaller purchases! 

Waste Divider for Bedroom Bins

A waste divider is a simple and easy way to sort out your waste from your recyclables! It’s ideal for bedroom bins, with the larger section of the bin being used for bulkier items like bottles and cans, and the smaller section is perfect for general waste!

This is such an easy way to make a difference and takes no time at all to install. 

Choose products with more sustainable packaging

Find products that still fulfill the needs of your guests but are a lot more sustainable. Here's some examples: 

• When it comes to food and drink, try replacing sacheted condiments with glass jars from Tiptree or provide reusable pots and jars.
• The Glass Bottles of Semi-Skimmed Milk from Delamere have become incredibly popular and Wheatleys Sugar Sachets are packaged with a mix of kraft paper and a biopolymer.
• We're working hard to find more sustainable methods of packaging too, for example our Hotel Slippers are in the process of being packaged with a simple paper wrap
• Or why not try our new Multi-Surface Cleaning Tablets from Janstar - great value for money and each pack is plastic-free and compostable too.
