Turning your home into a sanctuary doesn’t have to come at the expense of the planet. From recycling to reducing water waste, small changes can make a big difference—but when it comes to curating your space, choosing chic-but-eco-aware brands that prioritise sustainability is where the real impact happens.
Purchasing from eco-aware brands is becoming a growing priority for many Australians, however seeing through the greenwashing to find genuinely environmentally minded companies can feel like an overwhelming task. To cut through the noise, we’ve rounded up four homewares brands that prove that style and sustainability really can go hand in hand.
Smeg
Smeg presents a new addition to the range of small household appliances, the Soda Maker, a combination of elegance and innovation. It offers a touch of style in matte white and matte black finishes.
The most innovative element is its exclusive carbonation control knob; this intuitive system allows you to adjust the CO₂ level, allowing you to customise each drink to your taste.
How Is Smeg Sustainable?
Sustainability is a core value in the Smeg strategy: through the progressive assessment and integration of the environmental, social and governance aspects Smeg aims to develop increasingly innovative technological solutions to maximise the efficiency of its processes.
Smeg’s commitment to sustainability shines through with the 800ml Tritan™ Renew bottle, crafted from 50 per cent recycled materials. Durable, crystal-clear, and dishwasher-safe, it’s a chic and conscious alternative to single-use plastics.
