Miyabi Charcoal
The perfect plastic free water purifier! Drinking tap water instead of bottled water is a great way to reduce unnecessary waste and plastic consumption. Plus, we can also ditch the plastic water filter cartridge systems available. But perhaps tap water just doesn't taste quite right? Don’t worry, Miyabi Charcoal has your back.
Miyabi Charcoal, made from Japanese bamboo, removes impurities and improves tap water taste. Tests indicate that bamboo charcoal, when used to purify water, removes chlorine, chloride, phosphorus, ammonia, toluene (alcohol), nitrogen, chloramine (ammonia and chlorine compound added to water to kill pathogens), and even toxins like pesticides that can seep into tap water. When you’re done with them, they can be composted or placed directly in your garden, leaving no waste. Miyabi Charcoal’s Bundle package is an awesome gift! Miyabi Charcoal also has bamboo charcoal air purifiers that adsorb VOCs! Neat eh?

Ten & Co.
Ten & Co. is known for their Swedish Sponge Cloths, and deservedly so! One sponge cloth can outlive the use of at least 17 rolls of paper towel. They can absorb 15x (about ¾ cup) their own weight in liquid, which is way more than any paper towel. Sponge cloths are soft when wet, last up to 6 months, quick to dry and can do any job your paper towels, synthetic cloths or sponges can do (but better!). Plus, the original patterns designed by Ten & Co.’s founder, Christen, are aesthetic for your home and perfect for gifts! The cellulose (wood pulp) & cotton composition means they can be composted at the end of their life.
Ten & Co has a variety of other products, including 50/50 cotton-linen blend tea towels, handmade trivets and pillows. Ten & Co. is helping people make easy zero waste swaps in their home, and a Swedish Sponge Cloth is a simple and beautiful gift to do just that.
