Plastic Free July at I Love Linen
Posted: 24 July 2022
This Plastic Free July the team at I Love Linen are sharing small snippets from their own sustainability journey in the hope of encouraging you to make some small changes of your own.
As a team and business we are still on our own sustainability journey, although we are not perfect, we are working to reduce our footprint where we can. A few changes we have made as a business include swapping to biodegradable bags, recyclable cardboard boxes for shipping, and ordering considered limited quantities to avoid wastage.

Lauren, Founder and Product Designer
1. I shop as much as I can in bulk and store in glass jars.
2. I have a vegetable garden at home and also compost.
3. Going forward as a business, we will continue to find new ways to be plastic free and carbon neutral because it's the right, and only course of direction for me as a business owner.
Lainey, Campaign and Partnerships Manager
1. I use my mesh produce bags while doing grocery shopping so I don't need to use the single use plastic ones.
2. I have the Seed & Sprout Un-Baking paper and Reusable Stretch lids to eliminate the need for Baking Paper & Cling Wrap.
3. Going forward, I'm going to make my own natural cleaning products to store in glass bottles so I don't need to buy ones in plastic anymore.
Sammy, Customer Care eCommerce Manager
1. Each week I complete my grocery shop at the local farmers market and bring my own reusable bags to purchase & store my produce in.
2. I carry my Frank Green water bottle with me everywhere & also refill a large dispenser of filtered water each week to prevent buying bottled water.
3. Going forward, I am going to start making my own almond milk so I can reduce the amount I buy at the store.
Georgia, Customer Service Agent
1. I carry my own ceramic reusable cup with me all the time as I drink a lot of takeaway coffee!
2. I make sure to always have my reusable shopping bags (or my linen carry all bag) in my car so that I am never without a more sustainable option when shopping.
3. Going forward, I am going to slowly move to plastic free care products to help lower my use of plastic at home and in my daily care routine.
