As the days grow longer and blossoms begin to bloom, spring offers a fresh opportunity to rejuvenate not just our surroundings but also our daily habits. At PLATFORM, we believe that style and sustainability go hand in hand. Here’s how you can infuse eco-conscious choices into your spring routine.
- Refresh Your Wardrobe Responsibly
Spring cleaning often leads to wardrobe overhauls. Instead of discarding old clothes, consider:
- Upcycling: Transforming worn-out garments into new creations.
- Donating: Giving clothes a second life through charities.
- Swapping: Hosting clothing exchange events with friends.
When adding new pieces, opt for brands that prioritise sustainable materials and ethical production. Our Sustainable Collection features curated items that align with these values.
- Embrace Natural Cleaning Solutions
Spring is synonymous with deep cleaning. Traditional cleaning agents can be harsh on the environment. Switch to:
- DIY Cleaners: Mix vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils for effective solutions.
- Eco-Friendly Brands: Look for products with biodegradable ingredients and minimal packaging.
Not only are these alternatives kinder to the planet, but they also ensure a healthier home environment.

Introducing plants into your living space enhances air quality and adds a touch of nature indoors. Consider:
- Herb Gardens: Grow basil, mint, or rosemary on your windowsill.
- Indoor Plants: Snake plants and pothos are low-maintenance options.
Gardening fosters a connection to nature and promotes mindfulness.
- Opt for Sustainable Transportation
With milder weather, rethink your commuting habits:
- Cycling or Walking: Reduces carbon emissions and promotes health.
- Public Transport: An efficient alternative to individual car use.
Every small change contributes to a larger environmental impact.
- Support Local and Sustainable Brands
Choosing products from local artisans and sustainable brands reduces transportation emissions and supports ethical practices. At PLATFORM, we’re committed to offering products that are both stylish and environmentally responsible.
