Sustainable paint brushes and other eco-friendly interiors ideas

Today I wanted to share a couple of initiatives with you relating to sustainability. Did you know that currently only 10 per cent of the furniture and homeware items that are disposed of within the UK is recycled? Or to put it another way over 20 million pieces of furniture are thrown away in the UK alone every year – this is enough to fill 100,00 houses.

Over 15m cubic metres of landfill is taken up by sofas alone – that’s 6,000 Olympic swimming pools and each household will probably add eight sofas to that number in our lifetime.
