We are SMIDGE
Smidge eco-friendly products and gifts are significant both in and out of the home. They make tableware, kitchenware and more, which are very friendly to our environment by reducing plastic usage. The unique feature of Smidge products is that they are 100% natural. Their items are for everyday use, and this is amazing because you can practice this friendly eco-living more and efficiently with products like the ones below.
My favourite place is in the kitchen, and the Smidge Slice Chopping Board is made from sustainably sourced salvaged paper, dishwasher friendly and wonโt hurt knives when used. Another exciting feature is that itโs oven safe up to 240c. Before using in the oven, you would need to remove the silicone corners. The corner keeps your board in place on the counter. I must say Iโve never thought of using my chopping board in my oven, but now this just went the extra mile in space-saving and the environment. The boards come in 3 colours and sizes.
Smidge Jugs are made without plastic or artificial binding agents. The unique feature about this product is that they have produced this 100% naturally from plant materials derived from corn, they are also 100% biodegradable. These award-winning jugs can be used inside and outside at picnics, BBQs or just in the home. Choose from the colours aqua and citrus to go along with the sleek storm coloured jug. The 1.5 Lt jug fits nicely in a fridge door. Great for our household as the children love cold cordial drinks.
Another item is the lunch box by Smidge. As above itโs made like the jug. When ready to be disposed of, it returns to the soil. The 1.3-litre eco-friendly box is excellent for on the go dining. It has two compartments, and the divider is removable. The lid has a seal, and a band holds the whole container. There is more. It is dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe to 120c.

ZeroWater
ZeroWater five stage advanced water filtration jug is another solution to saving the planet. How? The 7 cup jug reduces 99% dissolved solids in drinking water. It uses a patent red 5 stage filter to clean the water we drink from the tap. The result means buying less bottled water in plastic containers. Stage 1 is a coarse filter that removes the solids that make cloudy water. Stage 2 removes more solids and is the foam distributor. Carbon and Oxidation in stage 3 remove organic contaminants like pesticides, chlorine and stops bacteria from growing. Stage 4 is the ion exchange resin that removes inorganic compounds like metals, and finally is a membrane layer which does the final cleaning process. The jug comes with a TDS meter in the lid so you can monitor the cleanliness of your water. Online there is a graph of the water pollutants in the UK. You can match up your area to make sure your drinking water is safe. The ability to hold 7 cups is great for a big household. There a few sizes, including one that fits in the door of the fridge. Not only does it reduce waste, but it is also made 100% BPA free.
A great thing about the ZeroWater brand this system is also available in a travel cup! It is very stylish and also sleek. The travel and sports bottle carry about 0.8L. It has the filtration system inside, and you can obtain the water with its straw. It doesnโt come with a TDS meter, but the filter is colour changing. Giving you the reassurance you are drinking clean water. For more information see online.
