An annual UK recycling awareness week takes place every September, and it is a good reminder to keep waste low all year round. It is a long running campaign that encourages everyone to waste less and recycle more.
We can, and must, all endeavour to make changes to the way we live, but sometimes it’s the little things that can add up to something that makes a larger, genuinely positive, impact. One small change would be to swap out the raw and dried herbs and spices in your cooking and adopt Holy Lama Spice Drops® instead.
With Spice Drops, there’s no preparation needed: no peeling, grating, grinding or chopping, and no peelings or leftover spice to throw away.
Holy Lama Spice Drops® also keep their fresh taste for up to three years from the date of manufacture, compared to dried herbs and spices that lose their flavour quickly. Often, they are stored for years in cupboards across the country, just to be thrown away after discovering their flavour is long gone. A report by WRAP found that in the UK, a significant amount of herbs and spices are thrown away every year, at real cost in terms of avoidable waste.

Did you know our soaps start with coconut oil, and each bar is packed in a shell moulded from fallen areca palm leaves, collected rather than cut? Check out the life cycle of our Holy Lama Yogi Soap below!
There is always more that we as individuals can do to reduce waste at home.
