We have created the Home & Garden Zone to help you choose the right furniture, soft furnishings, lighting and accessories that will protect our planet from widespread deforestation.
The area will showcase the latest and stylish living, bedroom, kitchen, sustainable gardening, conservation and office area products that will stand the test of time. The Home & Garden Zone will get you one step closer to a Net Zero home and a healthy, non-wasteful green space.

Waste Not, Want Not
We throw away 22 million pieces of furniture each year in the UK and most of this furniture is sent to landfill. Only 10% of people in the UK consider repairing their furniture to extend its lifespan. Horrifyingly, 670,000 tonnes of furniture and 310,000 tonnes of textiles waste is disposed by householders in the UK annually and sent to landfill according to Wrap.
Sadly, 110,000 tonnes of this furniture are totally re-usable. At some stage in a typical year 30% of households will throw away items that could have been donated, sold or reused. More worryingly, a fifth of 16-25 year olds do not know how to recycle or even donate.
