Green Facts

The cost of the average Christmas lunch is estimated at £14 per person but the ingredients could have flown 84,612 miles producing the same amount of greenhouse gas from planes as 50,000 three-bedroom semis in a year. In 2004, the UK sent 744 million Christmas cards; if they were all recycled, it would have saved 248,000 trees. In 2005, only 82 million cards were recycled but it diverted 1,630 tonnes of rubbish from landfill sites. In 2001 only 1.2 million of the 7.5 million Christmas tress bought were recycled; the rest created enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall in London three times

Natural Collection

Natural Collection set out in 1999 with a vision to create a way for consumers to support sustainable innovation and great product ideas. By offering a wide selection of ecologically-considered products and services we hope to reach as wide an audience as possible. We are demonstrating that the basic power of consumer choice can make commercially viable a growing range of top quality ecological products, even within a competitive and well-established market place; products which use modern technology to harness nature’s benefits without exploiting her resources; products which can represent our 21st Century vision where trade is fair and poverty is alleviated through sustainable income generation; and ultimately and ideally, products where holistic consideration stretches right from their inception through their manufacturing process, to the benefit for the end user and eventually to their recyclability and/or bio-degradability.
