In Britain we consume almost 165 million cups of tea a day! Around 80% of tea brands in the UK use a polypropylene (plastic) to seal their tea bags, meaning around 130 million tea bags a day contain plastics that will either be sent to landfill or thrown in a green recycling bin by unknowing customers trying to do their bit 😩 Some brands are slowly adjusting their tea bags to ensure they are plastic free such as Clipper organic everyday tea (a personal go to) but these alternatives can often be expensive. Another alternative is loose leaf tea, this can be used using a strainer, strainer ball, or reusable tea bags from @ecolivinguk At Em’s Easy Eco, loose leaf English breakfast tea will be £1.75 per 100g which equals around 50 cups of tea! #tea #ecofriendly #sustainableliving #zerowaste
