1. Lampshades Made from Recycled Plastics

By choosing lampshades made from recycled plastic bottle caps, you’re helping to reduce ocean plastic pollution and landfill waste. These upcycled materials give new life to discarded plastics, supporting a cleaner planet while adding an eco-conscious touch to your home decor.

2. Add Rattan Lampshades for a Natural Feel at Your Home

Rattan lampshades are a better and more sustainable choice, crafted from a renewable natural fiber harvested by hand in Indonesia without harming the environment. The eco-friendly, manual production process supports biodiversity, preserves traditional craftsmanship, and creates jobs in rural communities. Choosing rattan promotes sustainability while enhancing your home’s ambiance.

3. Use Plant Based Candles instead of Paraffin Candles 

Our natural candles use 100% plant-based wax materials, offering a healthier alternative to paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum byproducts and release harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned. Unlike paraffin, our plant-based candles burn cleanly, creating a safer and more tranquil environment without toxic fumes or soot. Enjoy a sustainable, eco-friendly glow without the worry of harmful chemicals in your home.

4. Candle Holders Made from Recycled Teakwood

Incorporating candle holders crafted from recycled teak root wood into your decor not only adds a unique aesthetic but also supports sustainable practices. Teak root, typically considered waste from plantations in Java, Indonesia, is repurposed into durable, handcrafted items. This manual production process, devoid of electricity, minimizes environmental impact and provides employment opportunities for local communities. Additionally, the natural oils used in treating the wood ensure the products are food-safe and non-toxic.

5. Choose Wood Cutting Boards over Plastic Cutting Board 

Choosing a high-quality wooden cutting board instead of plastic is a smarter, more sustainable option for both your kitchen and health. Our cutting boards are made from recycled teak wood, offering durability and eco-friendliness. Unlike other wooden boards, ours are not glued, making them safer and longer-lasting for your cooking needs.

6. Organic Bowls Made from Recycled Teakwood

Enhance your kitchen with organic bowls made from recycled teak root wood, a sustainable material repurposed from plantation waste in Indonesia. These bowls combine natural beauty with eco-consciousness, crafted by hand without electricity and treated with food-safe, non-toxic oils. Each piece tells a story of sustainability and supports local craftsmanship.

7. Choosing Table Linen Made from Recycled Cotton for a Greener Future

Opting for table linens made from recycled textiles not only adds style to your dining area but also significantly benefits the environment. Each kilogram of recycled yarn conserves 5,889 liters of water, 6 m² of land, 6 MJ of energy, and reduces CO₂ emissions by 7 kg. These linens are crafted from garment industry cut-offs in Bangladesh, transforming waste into durable, eco-friendly home textiles.

8. Glassware Made from Recycled Wine and Beer Bottles

Choosing glassware made from upcycled beer bottles not only reduces waste but also conserves resources, cutting CO₂ emissions by 0.9 kg per kilogram of glass reused. A life cycle assessment comparing upcycled glass from Zanzibar, Tanzania, with new glass produced in Germany and China revealed that upcycled glass has the smallest carbon footprint, even after accounting for transportation emissions. This is due to the manual production process and the avoidance of raw material extraction and high-temperature manufacturing required for new glass. 

9. Wooden Utensils from Recycled Teak Wood 

Enhance your dining experience with wooden utensils made from recycled teak root wood in Indonesia. Crafted from discarded plantation roots, this eco-friendly option repurposes waste without cutting trees. Handmade by local artisans using no electricity and treated with food-safe oils, these utensils combine sustainability, durability, and natural beauty.

10. Sustainable Throws Made from Waste Cotton

Our handwoven throws, crafted from recycled cotton in Bangladesh, bring warmth and style to your home while promoting sustainability. Made from discarded garment industry cut-offs, these throws reduce textile waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Produced locally using ethical craftsmanship and free from harmful dyes, they conserve resources and support communities in Bangladesh, making them an eco-conscious and responsible choice for your living space.

Revitalizing your home for a sustainable 2025 is a powerful way to enhance your mental and spiritual well-being while contributing to a healthier planet. By making conscious choices about the products you use in your home, you can create a space that reflects your values and promotes positivity.

As you embark on this journey, remember that every small change counts. Embrace the new year with a commitment to sustainability, and watch as your home transforms into a sanctuary of peace and environmental harmony.

It’s time to create an original home. A place where you can relax, be creative, get inspired and most importantly be your 100% original you.
