H&M: Giving Materials a New Life

When shopping for a new wardrobe favourite, looking at the materials used to make your clothes is a simple way to make a more considered choice.

H&M’s conscious range is clothing made with recycled cotton. Using recycled fibres helps give existing materials another life and forms part of a more circular approach to fashion.

Sustainability doesn’t have to stop when you leave the changing room, either. H&M also offers garment recycling, allowing unwanted textiles to be collected and given the opportunity for reuse or recycling.

The Body Shop: Refill, Reuse and Repeat

At The Body Shop at Fremlin Walk, you can pick up a refillable aluminium bottle and have it filled with selected favourites, including shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and hand washes.

Simply ask a member of the team to fill your bottle with your chosen product. By refilling rather than replacing the original bottle, you can continue enjoying your favourite products while reducing the need for new packaging.

Rituals: Make Your Rituals Refillable

Rituals is another Fremlin Walk destination where refillable products make it possible to enjoy everyday favourites while making a more considered choice.

The Fremlin Walk store offers refillable products and a refill station where you can shop for refills, providing an easy way to incorporate reuse into your daily beauty and wellbeing routine.

It’s a great example of how sustainability can become part of an everyday essential – because choosing a new pair of shoes doesn’t have to mean overlooking what they’re made from.

Your next favourite piece could have a little more going for it than just looking good.

Beaverbrooks: Jewellery Worth Celebrating

A beautiful ring, necklace or pair of earrings can become part of your story – marking a birthday, anniversary, engagement or simply a moment you want to remember. When you’re choosing something that could be treasured for years to come, it makes sense to think about the story behind it, too.

At Beaverbrooks, responsible jewellery is part of that story. The retailer adheres to policies from the Responsible Jewellery Council, the National Association of Jewellers and the Kimberley Process, reflecting its commitment to responsible practices within the jewellery industry.

Beaverbrooks was also the first UK retailer to receive Natural Diamond Council Premier Retailer Accreditation.

So, whether you’re searching for a timeless piece to keep for yourself or looking for a gift that will be treasured long after September has passed.

Hotel Chocolat: Your Chocolate Break Can Do More

Meet Hotel Chocolat’s Better Way Bar – a chocolate treat created to support a different approach to cacao farming.

What makes it stand out? 100% of sales from the Better Way Bar, excluding VAT, goes towards funding gentle farming initiatives.

Gentle farming is all about finding ways to get the best possible cacao yield while giving nature room to thrive. In Ghana, the programme supports farmers with shade tree seedlings, helping create more diverse growing environments where cacao can flourish alongside other trees and plants.

It also supports farmers with practical pruning techniques, helping cacao plants grow stronger and improving productivity, alongside workshops exploring the use of organic fertiliser to help soil retain moisture and nutrients.

Five Guys: Say Goodbye to the Fry Cup

Five Guys has swapped its traditional fry cups for natural kraft paper bags. Designed to be grease-resistant and free from PFAS and BPA, the new paper packaging is a simple change that moves away from the previous plastic-style fry containers.

The change is part of the brand’s wider work to reduce its environmental impact, including changes to packaging and commitments around reducing carbon emissions.
