What is an eco lifestyle?
Wondering what an eco lifestyle is? Eco lifestyle is a trend that promotes a green approach to everyday life.

The best place to start is with yourself!
We believe that each and every one of us has the power to influence the improvement of the environment. That is why we encourage you to incorporate an eco lifestyle into your daily life. Together we can do a lot to reduce the negative impact of plastic on our planet. Big changes start with small steps.

How do you introduce fabric pouches into your everyday life?
We realise that plastic, disposable bags were very convenient. You didn’t have to wash them, carry them with you to the shop because you replaced them with new ones every time you shopped…. and our planet was littered every day. Plastics are destroying our planet, negatively affecting flora and fauna! What we don’t yet know is the impact it has on our health….
Fortunately, environmental awareness is growing. We have seen through it and today we already know how much of a threat plastic bags are to the planet. By small steps, but we are moving in the right direction. We are no longer underestimating the huge consumption of plastic and are increasingly returning to fabric bags. Saketos offers drawstring pouches, made of jute, linen, cotton, so that you can effortlessly give up plastic bags for more environmentally friendly solutions.
The fabric pouches with drawstring are very convenient to use. It is always worth having at least one bag in your handbag, backpack and car.
7 steps to being eco
Find out that living eco doesn’t have to be difficult! Start with small changes in your everyday life. We have prepared 7 ideas for you to replace disposables with reusable products! Make changes one at a time. Take action one step at a time and see that these small changes will have a big effect.
1. Eco cotton bag
Are you in the habit of asking for a disposable bag when shopping? Change your habits! The first step is to go shopping with your own eco-cotton bag. Read more about the fabric shopping bags we produce.

2. Shopping bags for fruits and vegetables
We know that using the disposable grocery bags available in shops is a huge convenience. Unfortunately, we usually only use them once, after which they end up in the waste bin. Do an experiment. For a month, put aside the thin, disposable ‘rip-offs’ in which you bring home all sorts of groceries – fruit, vegetables. See for yourself how much plastic you collect this way….
An excellent alternative to plastic bags is eco cloth bags. Try to always carry a set of grocery bags with you. It’s a reusable product with really versatile uses.

3. Reusable pouches for loose products
Do you buy pre-packaged loose products? We mean rice, groats, pasta, nuts… Try putting these too in one place for a month and see how much wastes you produce by choosing pre-packed loose products. Such an experiment will make you realise the importance of changing this habit. Try choosing loose products by weight and pack them in the reusable containers you bring from home!

4. Analyse what you throw away most often. There’s usually an eco-friendly alternative!
Again, take a look at the contents of your waste bin. What type of plastic waste is most in your waste bin? Try replacing the most frequently repeated products with counterparts in plastic-free packaging. By making this change, you will use much less plastic on an annual basis!

5. Choose plastic-free products – reach for products in eco product packaging
Try to buy more consciously. One of the tenets of the zero waste trend is to choose products in the shop that are good for the environment in terms of production, but also not wrapped in unnecessary plastic. Whenever you have a choice, go for plastic-free alternatives.

6. Reusable lunch packs
If you’re preparing food for takeout, be mindful of how you package it. Don’t wrap your sandwiches in foil. Choose glass lunch boxes and food storage containers instead of a set: plastic breakfast box + cling film.
Replace disposable cutlery with cutlery made from recyclable materials.
Pack your lunch in linen pouches
7. Eco organisers
Opt for reusable containers when storing various items at home or during travel. This step will help you to be even more eco! Fabric bags are perfect as travel organisers and containers for storing things at home (e.g. as eco storage packs in the kitchen).
