A future of scarce resources and limited energy is even more reason for us to bring eco-friendly products into our homes and refine our lifestyle choices. One way to reduce your ecological footprint is to be aware of your consumption and source products from sustainable brands. We’ve compiled a list of the best sustainable brands in Hong – with products ranging from kitchenware and clothing to perfumes and stationary – so you can be part of the change you wish to see in the world.

#slowood #somewhereslow The process of producing a single hemp t-shirt saves up to 1,350 liters of water when compared to cotton. That’s the equivalent to the amount of water an average person drinks over the course of 450 days. What’s more, conventional cotton is often engineered to withstand herbicides, meaning the runoff from toxic chemicals end up in our rivers and lakes—producing dead zones and entering our food supply chain. That’s why, at Slowood’s Kennedy Town branch, we have created a Fashion Corner, which will give you the chance to participate in clothes swapping, second-hand shopping, and focus on quality rather than quantity. — 生產麻質Tee 裇比起棉質節省達1350公升水,相當於一個普通人450天的喝水量。更重要的是,一般棉花通常被培植成對除草劑具抵抗力,即是農夫們可以無後顧之憂地用除草劑,於是這些有毒的化學物質,滲入泥土最終流到我們的河流和湖泊中—污染了水源並進一步入侵我們的食品供應鏈。Slowood在堅尼地城分店增設Fashion Corner,就是為了推動環保時裝,讓大家有機會參與服裝交換,二手購物,並專注於質量而不是數量。 Read more: https://bit.ly/39AokC3 @jupyeah @sora @gohemp @amboh @naturalworldeco #thriftbuying #conciousbuying #lesswaste #waterwaste #slowashion #ethicalbuying #secondhand #sustainableliving

Inspired by the zero-waste initiatives in New Zealand, Slowood provides a range of eco-alternatives for your daily basic needs. Recycled, biodegradable, zero-waste and ecologically friendly are some of the keywords the brand’s values are associated with – all the building blocks of a sustainable lifestyle. 

Slowood sources from more than 100 international and local brands to offer sustainable home and lifestyle products, as well as providing grocery staples in bulk portions. The stores have refill stations where customers can purchase reusable storage containers or bring in their own clean containers to stock up on items such as grains, herbs, nuts and spices at affordable prices. Slowood also offers customers a range of sustainable beauty and clothing items, as well as a reusable mask – which is especially suitable during this pandemic.
