REthink your bathroom and laundry
Tired of throwing away plastic bottles and seeing mountains of beauty product containers? Ever wished there was a more sustainable way to keep your clothes clean and your bathroom sparkling? The answer lies in the circular economy!
This workshop will introduce you to practical ways to implement circular economy principles in your daily bathroom and laundry routines. We'll explore how to:
- refuse and reduce waste by using refillable products and sustainable alternatives
- repair and reuse what you already have with clever hacks and proper maintenance
- replace and recycle more effectively by supporting companies with quality products and closed-loop systems
Join us for an interactive session filled with tips, tricks, and inspiration to transform your bathroom and laundry into eco-friendly havens. Get ready to learn how to save money, minimise waste, and make a positive impact on the environment – one wash at a time!

Topics include:
- homemade and DIY products
- appliances and equipment
- purchase choices, packaging and waste
- habits and routines
