How to use less and reuse more

Products that you can recharge, refill and reuse many times can help you to save money in the long run – and they can also help to reduce the overall amount of waste that is created.

Fewer batteries to buy (or throw away)

LADDA batteries are rechargeable – up to 500 or 1000 times. So they’re more convenient, better for your wallet and generate less waste compared to single-use batteries.

Refill, reuse, repeat

Rather than spend on takeout coffees and bottles of water, why not prepare your own drinks in a reusable mug or bottle? As well as your expenses, you’ll cut down on paper and plastic waste, too.
