We are the sole distributor in the UK for Keep Leaf, a range of stylish products to encourage reuse at home and out and about.
Keep Leaf was founded by Jaswinder Sahl, a mother from Toronto with a passion for textiles and design. With a growing concern for our environment and a compelling desire to reduce her carbon footprint, Jas promptly began developing products that facilitate the now imperative, environmentally conscious lifestyle.
Keep Leaf is based on her belief that you do not have to compromise on quality and style to observe responsible, sustainable practices and the result is a range of speciality reusable products that are premium quality, modern, chic, easy to use and well priced. Jas knows that in order for consumers to choose reusable over the convenience of disposable, the reusable product must entice with more than just its green credentials.
Asked what makes Keep Leaf’s products unique, Jas points to the company’s playful aesthetic. “That’s what really sets Keep Leaf apart,” she said. “There is a sense of fun to it. There’s lots of colour. It’s very stylish. With our new products, we’re continuing that philosophy – to make sure that going green is not boring. That it’s fun and chic.”
Highlights from the 2012 range include:
Reuse is
often confused with recycling, but they are really quite different. Reuse in the broadest
sense means any activity that lengthens the life of an item. Recycling, on the
other hand, is the reprocessing of an item into a new raw material for use in a
new product.
Why is reuse so important? Because at the same time that it confronts the challenges of waste reduction, reuse also sustains a comfortable quality of life and supports a productive economy. It helps support a sustainable economy in the following ways:
- Keeps goods and materials out of the waste stream
- Preserves the 'embodied energy' that was originally used to manufacture an item
- Reduces the strain on valuable resources, such as fuel, forests and water suppliers.
- Creates less air and water pollution then making a new item or recycling.
- Results in less hazardous waste.
- Saves money in purchases and disposal costs.
Keep Leaf supports all of the above aims, and at the same time makes it easy and stylish to do so! They are committed to making their products as sustainable as possible and as the business grows will be able to incorporate more eco friendly materials into the range. A range of Organic cotton insulated lunch bags was launched in late 2011.
