Eco-Friendly Drinks Coasters (for coffee tables)

It’s good to use coasters to protect your coffee table. But next time you buy new ones, choose ones from upcycled materials, to save waste.

Stop spills, by using these recycled newspaper coasters, sold as a set in their own holder. Handmade by a social enterprise in Sri Lanka, these coasters help to reduce the amount of global waste, and cut down on use of unsustainable resources.

These recycled newspaper bowls can be used to stash keys or anything that could get lost. You could even use them as tip trays for small shops and restaurants.

Don’t put sweets or chocolate in them, near young children or pets.

It’s true that newspaper breaks down in landfills (unlike plastic). But this still causes methane, a potent greenhouse gas to be released. So making old newspapers into other things, helps to reduce emissions and therefore climate change.

Recycled ocean waste drinks coasters

These ocean plastic coasters make a lovely unique zero waste gift for others or yourself, to protect table tops. Unlike most coasters that are made from plastic, these are made from ocean plastic, which has been collected by hand from the scenic Cornish coast. So good for marine creatures too!

Sold in sets of 2 to 4, the more people buy these, the more the fishing nets, water bottle tops, buckets and spades this brand can remove from the ocean (the colours are naturally derived from whatever is collected).

And due to being plastic, the coasters are strong and waterproof, and should last you years. By supporting this brand, you can leave a legacy of cleaner oceans in Cornwall, for years to come.
