Best Christmas gifts for friends who love sustainability
If your favourite friend is trying to produce less waste, the Christmas season is a good time to give them something practical for their zero-waste projects.
It's particularly handy to consider present ideas that replace disposable items in the bathroom or kitchen, for example. If you're looking for a more subtle gift, we can recommend a reusable water bottle or hard shampoo which cuts down on the use of plastic.
If you're going for an electronic gift, like a smartphone, tablet, hair straightener, or food processor, we suggest buying them second-hand. Second-hand smartphones, for example, help reduce e-waste in general by extending the life of the device.
At Back Market, all the devices presented on the site are refurbished, which means that an expert examines the device before the sale and fixes any problems. Plus, you have a 30-day return period and you get a 12-month warranty so you're sure to give your friend a gift that will last a long time.
If a friend of yours is particularly involved in projects that have to do with sustainability and the environment, they will appreciate a refurbished gift much more than one that just left the factory. And you will be happy to have contributed to the reduction of pollution and waste too.
