Refuse and reduce

By sharing resources, selecting products that are designed to last and avoiding single-use items, individuals and businesses can significantly reduce our collective carbon footprint.

This category showcases businesses and organisations that facilitate sharing, provide package-free or plastic-free options, or create durable, reusable and/or repairable products.

Every little bit helps when it comes to refusing and reducing waste and moving to a more circular economy.
