As the back-to-school season approaches, it's a great opportunity to instil eco-friendly habits in your kids and make sustainable choices easy and fun. With just two weeks left until the school year kicks off, let’s explore how you can equip your children with eco-conscious school supplies and habits—without adding stress to your busy schedule. At Paguro Upcycle, we’re here to make green choices both stylish and practical for families.

 

Sustainable Supplies with a Twist

Start the school year with a greener twist on traditional supplies. Opt for products made from recycled or upcycled materials. For example, check out Paguro’s Innertube Pencil Cases. Made from recycled inner tubes, these pencil cases are durable and unique, offering a cool way to keep pencils and pens organised. It’s perfect for kids who want to stand out while making a difference and they're made to last.

 
Don’t forget the Upcycled Pencil Holder from Paguro. It’s a practical and eco-friendly option to keep all those crayons and markers in place, adding a touch of sustainability to their desk setup.

 

Crafting Simple Upcycled Gear

If you're looking for a low-effort craft project that kids can enjoy, consider making simple upcycled items. For example:
 
- Decorated Jars for Pencils and Supplies: Let your kids decorate empty jars or cans with stickers, paint, or fabric scraps to create personalised pencil holders. This easy project helps keep stationery organised and encourages creativity.
- Recycled Paper Notebooks: Transform old paper into a new notebook by binding it with string or a simple binder. Your kids will love having a custom notebook for their schoolwork.
 
These activities are not only a fun way to spend the last of the summer break but also teach valuable lessons about recycling and creativity.
 

Eco-Friendly Lunch Solutions

Make lunchtime more sustainable with reusable containers and utensils. Invest in stainless steel or silicone lunch boxes and water bottles that can be used daily. Encourage your kids to bring their own lunch from home rather than using disposable packaging. Pair them with reusable cloth napkins for an extra touch of sustainability.
 

Green Study Space Essentials

Help your kids create an eco-friendly study area by using energy-efficient LED bulbs and minimising paper waste with digital tools. Encourage them to use notebooks made from recycled paper and to keep their workspace tidy with upcycled desk organisers like this one.

 
Paguro’s range of eco-conscious office accessories, like the upcycled pencil holder, can make organising their study space both practical and sustainable.
 

Simple Eco-Friendly Habits

Incorporate easy, green habits into your family’s routine:
 
- Reusable Water Bottles: Make sure your kids carry a reusable water bottle to school to reduce plastic waste.
- Eco-Friendly School Bags: Opt for backpacks made from recycled materials. Paguro’s upcycled accessories fit the bill perfectly and are designed to withstand daily use, made to last so your children can have a backpack for life.
- Snack Packs: Use reusable snack bags instead of disposable ones to keep treats fresh and eco-friendly.
 

Lead by Example

Modelling eco-friendly behaviour helps reinforce these habits in your children. Show them how to properly sort recycling, choose sustainable products, and reduce waste. By making green choices a part of your family’s routine, you’ll set a positive example that your kids can follow.
