Use to Reduce – Sustainable Gifts

We got you something!

You've just received a Brunel Foundation Sustainable Gift. The Brunel Foundation strives to encourage Brunellers, clients and many others to make sustainable choices, when and where they can. With this gift we'd like to invite you to take action to reduce your environmental footprint.

Making sustainable choices is essentially about building new habits. All changes we make together on a daily basis, will impact the environment on a global scale. One habit at a time.

Correctbook

As much as technology is integrated into our work environment, paper notebooks are still frequently used. Using a notebook allows you to take a step away from screens and devices. It helps bring your thoughts and creative ideas alive, making a to-do list or an illustrative drawing. Unfortunately, the production of paper places quite a burden on our environment, and most notebooks quickly end up as waste. So let's use a Correctbook instead.

Impact on a yearly basis

  • 300 paper pages
  • 15 kg paper
  • 393 liter of water
  • 1 tree
  • 24 liter of oil
  • 60 kw of energy
  • Supporting Correctbook in their fight against illiteracy

KeepCup

Who doesn’t like a drink on the go? In the metro, city, car, office or in the park? In general, we all drink these in ‘paper’ cups with a plastic coated layer covered by a plastic lid. The KeepCup is a great alternative to minimize your impact on the planet.

Impact per year (based on 3 coffees to go per week)

  • 150 single use cups
  • 5,53 kg Carbon emission
  • 0,49 kg of plastic
  • 142,17 mj of energy
  • 3,38 kg of timber

Canvas bag

Depending on the type of material, it takes up to 500 years for plastic bags to disintegrate, while we normally use them for as little as 15 minutes per piece. On a yearly base 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. Besides the single use purpose they also have a negative impact on life on land and see, recycling is not possible, they don’t break down in nature and because of the used resources they contribute to the climate change. Every time you use this multipurpose canvas shopper instead of a plastic one, you’ll make a difference.

Reusable water bottle

Reusable water bottles are, in multiple ways, the best choice! Better for you and our planet. The Brunel Foundation water bottle is sustainable, stylish and functional. It contains no BPA or plasticizers, is dishwasher safe, leak-proof and can be used for soda drinks as well. The cap can easily be attached to the bottle using the loop, so you don't lose it. They not only look great, but can also save you money and last pretty much forever.
