We live a very busy lifestyle that we don't have time anymore to prepare food from scratch. While convenient food at supermarkets are very tempting to buy, there are some food that we should buy fresh and chop up our self at home. Fruits and vegetables are better to buy fresh, loose, not prepacked in plastic bags or plastic containers. It actually takes lesser time than you think to chop up fruits and vegetables from scratch your self. It is better from the Eco Sustainable lifestyle as you don't buy food packaged in plastic, and you don't have to worry about recycling the packaging. Use Re-Usable Produce Bags when you go grocery shopping. When you get home, you can start washing only the fruits or vegetables that you are ready to eat and store the rest in the appropriate compartment in your fridge. Lots of water is being wasted to wash these greens before they are packed away in plastic for customers convenient.

If you buy them loose, you can inspect the freshness of vegetables like carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, tomato, celery, green and many more, rather than prepacked in a pre-printed plastic packaging full of marketing texts. In addition, you can make sure that are no "bugs" on them. Fresh fruit and vegetables that are not suffocated inside pre-printed plastic packaging have more antioxidant activity. It is better for your skin, healthy blood cell production, prevention of chronic illnesses, and slowing aging. The antioxidant in fresh fruits and vegetables can also protect your body from free radical cell damage due to inflammation and are good for your heart. It may also lower the risk of internal infections that cause cancer due to excessive exposure to certain chemical, smoking, air pollution, plastic pollution, radiation, and excessive exercise or consumption of refined or processed foods, including artificial sweetener, artificial preservative, artificial food coloring, artificial flavor etc.

So many products that we touch, use and even give to our children to play with are made out of plastic. Indirectly, when we come into contact with non-stick cookware, cardboard packaging, toys, food containers, cutleries, cutting board, utensils and skin care products that contain plastic, we expose our self and our children to chemical pollution through digestion or absorption. These chemical pollutions could bring long term damages to liver, reproductive system and hormone imbalance, including tendency to develop obesity. Whilst it is challenging not to live with plastic at all, we can still strive to reduce the amount of products that we use on a daily basis that contain plastic. Reducing the amount of plastic products (including plastic water bottles and single use plastic coffee cups) will eventually also reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfill.

Aluminium Products Recycling, How Does it Benefit Environment ?

Aluminium recycling is the process by which scrap aluminium can be reused in production again as raw material after its initial product life cycle. This process simply involves re-melting the aluminium, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminium batches. Originally, it must first be mined from bauxite ore and then refined. Recycling scrap aluminium requires much less energy and resources compared to producing new aluminium sheets from raw ore. For this reason, many develop nations worldwide use old recycled aluminium materials in their manufacturing processes. Used beverage cans are the largest components of processed aluminium scrap, which most of it is manufactured back into aluminium cans. Because efficient production and recycling benefit the environment, we can confidently buy aluminium products. Click here for Aluminium products that can be Custom Printed or Custom Branded.

Significant costs saving in production compared to making new aluminium sheets
In the long term, more costs saving can be achieved at National level as well due to the reduction in the capital costs associated with land fill creation, mining site maintenance and international freight
Energy saving
Reduce the cost of landfill dumping because aluminium products can be recycled infinitely
The use of Recycled Aluminium also decreases the need for mining bauxite

Recycling Plastic is Mechanically, Structurally and Logistically Costly,
so Why Not Use More Re-Usable Eco Friendly Products?

Reusable Cups, Mugs

Stainless Steel Bottles

Tumblers, Reusable Party Cups, Jugs

To live more Eco Sustainable lifestyle and to take part in the Recycling Culture requires a change in one's mind sets and daily habits. For example, while there is a way to recycle singe use coffee cups into toilet paper, we must constantly ask our self this question: What is the cost to collect those single use coffee cups and how much time does it take to separate the lids, the inner plastic coating, to soak them in water, to dry them and to shred them in the end?. Although recycling singe use coffee cups seems like a good idea, the reality is, the whole process from start to finish, is logistically difficult and costly along the way. Just like recycling single use coffee cups, recycling waste water, recycling used cooking oil, recycling used batteries, recycling food waste, recycling old tires, recycling garden and plants bits, all of these recycling processes require technology, massive funding, and thorough logistic solutions. Economically, it is easier to use more Reusable Eco Friendly Products. We can divert more wastage from landfill, feeling positive about contributing a little in the massive efforts of Recycling Culture. Watch the video below about a Plastic Recycling Plant to appreciate how complicated and labor intensive it is to recycle plastic.
