Buy Sustainable Products
The products and services we buy have impacts in their manufacture, use and disposal.
Whether it's buying products that use recycled materials, that use less energy in their use, that conform to standards like Fairtrade, or are designed to reuse at end of life; buying better products gives us the opportunity to reduce waste, save energy and conserve resources.
