Reducing single use waste is one of our key missions here at Ogato so we've developed a range of sustainable makeup removal pads. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed by 'going green' but small changes lead to big deals if all of us are doing it together.   By reducing our single use products, we can all make a real difference to climate change.  Reducing our usage of these types of products also helps us save money so what's not to like?

When we were looking at developing products for Ogato, we wanted to make something that looked great, worked really well but was also affordable.  We want to make it easy for our customers to make that switch to sustainable products.  By now most people are aware that one single use plastic glass can take between 25 - 30 years to break down.  Miniature toiletries (those 'essential' travel items) take up to 100 years to break down.  When we were putting our product together, we wanted to come up with something that could be washed and used over and over again, and as a result our makeup remover pads can last up to 250 washes.  

According to Business Insider, we are in the midst of 'a mega' rubbish crisis.  Almost 2 million bags are used per minute.  There is no choice, we as consumers need to consciously consume less.    Those who practice zero waste try to use less and re-use more of what they have.  If this is your first step on the zero waste ladder, we suggest you start with one thing and take it from there.  Over time it will build up and suddenly you will find that you are indeed becoming greener over time.  Whether it's a reusable cup, a tote bag or wooden cutlery, it all helps. 

 We at Ogato have just started our journey and are already developing products from reusables.  We want to develop amazing premium reusable products that you will love to use and that help reduce waste.  We hope you join us our journey and would love to hear how you find our products, and any steps you are taking to drive down one use products.  Until next time.
