    Committed to using and promoting the use of plastic free, this Sencha Green Tea is completely plastic and packaging free.

    Not all teas are certified fair trade however all producers have been vetted to ensure the farms/plantations all comply with national and international laws, meaning no forced or under age labour and workers are paid a correct wage. That they work in safe and hygienic working conditions with no harsh or inhumane treatment and fair working hours.

    Most of West Country Tea Co teas are organic, however they are unable to advertise or sell them as such, as they are not organic certified themselves. As they process the ingredients in blending they would need to be certified and unfortunately this is a very expensive route to take and not an option for them at the moment.

Wooden Clothing Pegs

/

  • To help dry your clothes! These wooden clothes pegs are a great alternative to plastic ones.

    Use to hang your clothes outside to dry.

    To prolong the life of the pegs, keep dry in-between use. We also like to protect ours by treating them to a wax, use a furniture polish or a bit of coconut oil to condition, allow to fully dry before using.

  • FSC beech wood and a steel spring.

    100% plastic free

    Length - 72mm

    From brand ecoLiving

  • Sold in a recycled and recyclable cardboard box.

    Delivered to us in a cardboard box which we reuse for our home delivery service.

  • Made in Europe, shipped to us via land.

  • Plastic pegs can get brittle and break, releasing small plastic pieces in the natural environment, causing plastic pollution. These wooden pegs are biodegradable and compostable at the end of their useful life. The steel can be recycled and the wooden pegs composted. Unlike plastic pegs, they will not pollute the environment after use.

    Air drying clothes is by far the most environmentally friendly way to dry your clothes. The average tumble dryer produces 1.8kg of CO2 each time it is used. Tumble drying also causes synthetic fabrics to shed microplastics, which end up in our water systems. (info from Is it Really Green? Georgina Wilson-Powell)

    You can recycle this tape along with your standard household paper/cardboard waste - how much easier is that! 

    Kraft paper tapes are acid-free, 100% vegan friendly.
