Celebrate Sustainably & Responsibly This Holiday Season
It is the season of festivities, with Christmas right around the corner, followed by New Year and Chinese New Year close by. Everybody is going to be busy celebrating their favourite holidays with their friends and loved ones.
However, not to be a party pooper, but all these celebrations can only mean one thing: lots of wastage. For instance, the significant use of single-use disposable plastic plates only means adding on to our limited landfill space.
Whether you are hosting your own holiday party or a corporate end-of-year party, they are ideal opportunities to demonstrate your take on sustainability. Do not let your party plastics give Earth a holiday hangover. Without further ado, here are some ways you can celebrate sustainably and responsibly.
1. Replace non-sustainable single-use items with sustainable options
Food probably plays the biggest role in parties-related wastage. It includes everything from leftovers to plastic food packaging and disposable plates and cutleries.
While it is more logical to use reusable tableware that can be washed, reused, and recycled for the next party, we know that it can be hard to do that at the end of the party. Hence, it is unavoidable that single-use items be used at parties, especially when a large number of guests is involved.
Rather than using non-sustainable single-use items, why not opt for sustainable food packaging, such as biodegradable utensils and other tableware? On that note, many people might still lament that such products are not completely environmentally friendly, with their production still emitting carbon.
Fret not; with SKP’s sustainable product range, EcoVue, we offer you 100% sustainable food packaging. Not only does each EcoVue product break down completely into organic elements that are absorbed back into nature but its manufacturing facilities are completely powered by solar energy, emitting zero carbon.
2. DIY or reuse the decorations
The whole point of celebrating sustainably and responsibly is to reduce or avoid any wastage. Hence, sustainable decorations are an obvious reason. Many would purchase decorations just to throw them away after using them. So, rather than buying them and throwing them away every single year, why not reuse them instead? Not only is it more affordable, but it is also fuss-free.
Better still, to make it even more affordable and sustainable, you can choose to DIY. You can also choose to recycle your decorations. After all, you will be celebrating these holidays every year. It would be much more cost-effective to keep them and reuse them again the next year.
Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of customers using materials from our store to make their own festive decor. Whether you have decided to DIY or purchase festive decorations, SKP has got a wide range of products to choose from.
Also, you might want to consider choosing to host your party at a space where décors and tableware are available. That way, you do not need to worry about getting anything, saving your costs, and even keeping your party sustainable.
The significance of sustainable packaging
In today’s eco-conscious society, it is vital to understand why you should be switching to sustainable packaging. Most, if not all, conventional packaging materials end up in our landfills, taking centuries to break down and contributing to various forms of environmental pollution. Eco-friendly packaging focuses on biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable materials. Hence, by going for sustainability, you can:
Reduce your carbon footprint: Eco-friendly packaging generally produces lesser greenhouse gas emissions and consumes less energy during production, thus reducing your carbon footprint. You can take it a step further by considering SKP’s EcoVue range for complete carbon footprint reduction.
Conserve resources: Items such as eco-friendly disposable cups and biodegradable plastic plates use fewer natural resources, helping to preserve Earth’s limited resources.
Minimise waste: Sustainable packaging is all about reducing as much waste as possible.
