How would you start to adopt the eco-friendly ways to reduce waste and to save our environment and planet?  If you haven’t yet done so in joining the eco-friendly home bandwagon to save our environment, maybe now would be an ideal time to do so.
.
In this regard, one aspect of home maintenance and management to consider is waste management. The average UK household makes about a tonne of waste annually.
.
Fortunately, the amount of waste you generate at home can be reduced drastically as long as you are ready to take the steps that come with it. An eco-friendly home can be a healthy space, and the following tips can help you achieve that.

• Eco-Friendly Ways to Reduce Waste #1:
  Avoid disposables as much as possible

If you look in your kitchen right now, you can probably count more than five disposable items there. Admittedly, disposables can make your kitchen life easier, but they do have their disadvantages.
.
For example, you may save water by not having to wash that plastic or paper cup; however, this is not really eco-friendly. The same goes for your tin foil, paper towels, plastic wraps, etc. In place of these disposables, consider using ceramic mugs, reusable containers, microfibre kitchen cloths.

Also, consider replacing your disposable liquid soap bottles with another set of bottles. Thanks to technology, zero waste hand wash soap allows you to use the same bottle repeatedly without discarding it. All it takes is one tablet to be dissolved in a bottle of water, and you’re good to go.
.
Indeed, it might be impossible to entirely do away with disposables around the home. However, a conscious balance of reusables and disposables can make all the difference in an eco-friendly home.

Data suggests that UK households deal with food waste more than any other European country. The statistics indicate that 61% of food waste is generated in households with or without children. Therefore, all types of households have a role to play in the UK’s food wastage problem.
.
Thankfully, there are vital steps you can take to avoid contributing to the growing number of food wastage in homes.
.
First of all, before discarding food, be certain that it is expired or unwholesome for consumption. If it cannot be consumed, it will be useful as compost than in the trash can.
.
More importantly, if you are deliberate about noting the expiry dates of your processed or canned food products, you will know how to plan daily meals. Doing this prevents food wastage and saves money simultaneously.

• Eco-Friendly Ways to Reduce Waste #3:
  Donate old furniture instead of discarding them

.
Data suggests that 65% of new homeowners prefer to acquire new furniture for their new homes. Unfortunately, while at it, they assume that the most convenient thing to do is discard old furniture to make way for new ones.
.
The truth is, your old piece of furniture can do better by serving a home that needs it more than yours.
.
All it takes is to find local charities in your community and give them away. Fortunately, some charities organise free pickups, and you wouldn’t have to drive all your old furniture to another location yourself.
