Keep bins out of sight with this wooden bin hide from British Bins

British Bins

4a Sydenham Avenue, Sydenham, London, SE26 6UH

phone: 020 8776 8957
BritishBins was born out of the need to supply good quality wheelie bins which are excellent value for money. Since then, we have increased our product range to include lots of complementary products that not only help you manage waste but also make it easy to recycle.
 
We're always on the lookout for environmentally-friendly ways to help you reduce, re-use and recycle. Currently we sell kitchen caddies to collect food waste, desktop battery bins, use FSC-certified timber for our wheelie bin enclosures and sell portable crushers for plastic bottles and drink cans to increase space in recycling bins.
 
Many people think bins just come in one size, shape and colour; but through our website we hope to prove you wrong. We are confident you'll find something that you need, and which will help towards building a circular economy.
 
For any questions we're just a phone-call away!

Ada & Ina natural linen fabrics

Ada & Ina Ltd

Unit 8, Cotton Road, Wincheap Industrial Estate, Canterbury, CT1 3RB

phone: 020 7183 7986

Linen is one of the most eco friendly textiles. It comes from flax, which grows abundantly in Europe and it doesn't need special irrigation or pesticide treatments, unlike conventional cotton which requires huge volumes of water and pesticides. Linen looks beautiful, it drapes so nicely and it comes in different weights. Heavy linen is fabulous for curtains, blinds, upholstery, while finer linen is used for clothing. Here at Ada & Ina, you'll find a huge choice of linens, from plains to patterns and in different weights. So make your interiors eco friendly by using linen for your soft furnishings.

Chandelier made from old kitchen utensils by Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine is based in South London and South Devon

I’ve been making chandeliers using recycled materials for over 20 years. It started after finding 40 faceted glass drops in some rubbish. I wanted to make myself a chandelier that looked opulent but was made from humble objects. I found metal kitchen items for the structure at car boot sales and scrap yards. They seem nice jaunty objects with more potential so I liberate them from their domestic duties by incorporating them into my chandeliers. I love thrift and the challenge of re-using. 
 
 
 
 
Wearth sustainable furniture

Wearth London

50 Keswick Road, Great Bookham, Surrey KT23 4BH

Wearth London has joined forces with Veo, which the two are positioning as the go-to online department store for shoppers who want to buy stylish, modern eco-friendly furniture for their homes. Furniture is made by designer-makers in the UK using sustainable/reclaimed/upcycled timber and pieces you'll find include upcycled wine crate bookcases, tables, kitchen pegboards, shelving, side tables and seating. Upholstered wine crate ottomans are particularly useful because not only can you sit on them but lift the lid and you'll find generous storage space. So for furniture with eco brilliance, character and individuality, spend time perusing Veo.

And a feature of our store that customers love is that they can search for products using criteria important to them, which could be 'reclaimed timber', 'biodegradable' or '100% recyclable'.

By Dee McLean, Hampstead Heath in summer

Dee McLean Art

London NW5

Dee is an artist inspired by nature, be it her local Hampstead Heath, Louisiana or Canada - the latter two are important to her because she lived in the former and her daughter now lives in the latter.  Dee has a background in medical drawings but in recent years has returned to painting the natural world using watercolours predominantly. She captures the detail of vegetation while her paintings transmit the relaxed nonchalence of the natural world.  Dee is very committed to communicating how climate change is affecting the planet and her art depicts a changing world. You can buy giclee prints of Dee's original works, or commission a painting.
