Why choose reusable products? When you consider that Bic sells 11 million disposable razors a day, nearly 7700 every minute worldwide, it is clear that the resulting amount of waste is considerable. Choosing reusable products is a sensible, practical step to limit these figures and reduce your carbon footprint. Which disposable products can be replaced with reusable ones? You can use water bottles instead of plastic bottles, tote bags instead of disposable bags and stainless steel tableware for your organisation. Ideally, you can also reuse and make things yourself: keep jars and recycle old clothes into cleaning rags.

Its features
Environmentally friendly
- Waste reduction: reusable products reduce the amount of waste produced. Unlike disposable products, they are not meant to be used once and thrown away, which reduces the amount of waste generated. - Environmental protection: reusable products reduce demand for disposable products, which are often made from non-renewable raw materials and can have a negative impact on the environment during their production and disposal. - Reduced carbon footprint: reusable products have a lower carbon footprint.
Second life
- Because reusable products can have a second life, they limit the ecological impact linked to the production of a new product.
