SUSTAINABLE LIVING REUSE

Every household needs a sturdy set of reusable
containers as a sustainable substitute for takeaway
boxes. These microwave-safe JÄMKA food containers
are ideal for storing cheese, ham, fresh fruits and
leftovers. They can even be stacked inside one
another if you’re low on space.
Cut back on daily wastage – and your carbon footprint
– with these easy ways to reuse, reduce and recycle.

Squeeze in some legwork and reduce your carbon footprint by switching
up your transport routine with the lightweight SLADDA BICYCLE.
Its rustproof aluminium body comes fitted with an automatic two-
gear system, plus a 25-year guarantee on the frame and a ten-year
guarantee on the belt drive – it’s a worthy investment for a cheaper
alternative to getting ’round.
Pressed for time? Packing a home-cooked meal for work isn’t a pain
when you use the VÄRDESÄTTA pressure cooker, which cuts your
cooking time by up to 50% – and therefore uses less energy – while
preserving the nutrients (and flavours) in your food.

your waste would have already been sorted.

What’s your inspiration for this tweak?
Given the limited space in our apartment, we
decided that each piece of furniture must serve
dual purposes. The KALLAX series was the
perfect answer – we bought three sets, and
installed bed legs (BRYNILEN and BURFJORD)
to take away the normal bookshelf appearance.
How do you usually use this space?
The single shelf is used as TV console, while
the two double shelves are used as a console

kitchenware, extension cables, and so on. The
console table works great as an extra serving
