Activated carbon is a form of carbon that undergoes a special activation process that makes it extremely porous. This significantly increases the surface area of ??the coal, making it very effective at absorbing various pollutants. Activated carbon can attract and bind to harmful chemicals, toxins and unwanted odors. It is widely used in water filtration systems and other healthcare products due to its ability to purify and improve water quality. Kishu Binchotan, a traditional Japanese form of activated carbon, is specially designed to purify drinking water and add beneficial minerals. This makes it a natural choice for those who want cleaner and healthier water without using disposable plastic filters.

Block candles made of pure beeswax from Aarhusian BISTAD

Here you get a completely natural block candle made from pure beeswax from Grøn Voks Pulje - i.e. wax that comes from bee farms where neither pesticides nor antibiotics are used.

It is a beautiful candle in all its simplicity and naturalness - and a much better light for the environment. Beeswax candles are a natural and chemical-free alternative to candles made of stearin and paraffin.

This product is handmade in Aarhus, among others. of vulnerable citizens. Minor variations may therefore occur in the individual products. It has no effect on the quality of the light.

BISTAD is a social economy company where there is always room for "the weird". We clearly support that at Økofamily.

The light is approx. 7.5 cm. high and originates from beeswax gathered from local beehives distributed over central Jutland - beeswax from Grøn Voks Pulje.

It has a burning time of around 40 hours.

When you buy these beeswax candles, you make an important difference:

• for vulnerable citizens
• for the honey bee
• for your indoor climate
• for nature
• for the CO2 released
• for yourself and your loved ones

How to use your beeswax candle correctly and safely

• Continuously cut the wick down - this way the candle burns best and slowly, and you avoid the candle becoming sooty.
• At the same time, you must avoid drafts in the room, where the light is.
• The wick should burn up by itself, but if a small piece falls off and lands in the light, it reduces the quality of the fire.

Also, pay attention to the fire authorities' instructions for burning candles:

• Never leave a lighted candles.
• Always place lit candles so that children and animals cannot knock them over.
• Always supervise candles.
• Always turn off candles when you go to bed or leave the home.
• Calves must be placed well away from fluttering curtains.
• Never have candles in children's rooms.
• Candles (especially tealights) can float out and begin to burn
• Do not blow out light, but smother the flame. For example with a pot that is placed over the candle(s) with the bottom in the air.

What is a Stasher Bag?

A Stasher Bag is a reusable and completely sealed silicone bag for storing your food, your toiletries and the like.

It is also brilliant for packed lunches.

A Stasher Bag can replace zip bags or the classic freezer bag and can be used thousands of times times.

Stasher Bags are made of pure platinum silicone, which is the absolute purest form of silicone. It is also called "liquid glass". You can safely store your food in it - including fatty and acidic ones.

Platinum-hardened silicone is primarily made of sand and oxygen. No fossil resources are therefore used in the production of Stasher Bags, nor resources that could otherwise be used for food production.

Stasher Bags can also withstand heating in the oven, microwave and sous vide pan.

The silicone bags are completely airtight when closed.

Also feel free to use Stasher Bags for freezing your food. The silicone bags are transparent and therefore give a good overview of the contents, while also saving a lot of space.

This Stasher Bag is a Sandwich version and measures 18 x 19 cm.

It can hold approx. 0.5 liters.

Stasher is an American B-Corp certified company. This certification means that good employee relations are maintained, the environment is treated properly and that the company is committed to society. Stasher's products are produced under responsible and good conditions in China, where Stasher himself makes sure to visit the factory to make sure that the conditions are as they should be.

How to use your Stasher Bag

As you have probably already discovered, Stasher Bags can be used for a great deal. Here are some tips for use in the oven, microwave, sous vide pot and freezer.

Stasher in the oven: Place your open bag on a baking tray and put it in the oven. We recommend heating at a maximum of 210 degrees. And leave the bag slightly open so that the steam can escape.Stasher in the microwave: Leave the bag open here too when you heat food in the microwave. If you are going to make popcorn, we recommend a Stasher Stand-up. It gives a little more space to pop.Stasher in Sous vide pot: Put the food in the bag and slowly lower it into the water. The heat causes the air to seep out of the bag and will create a vacuum around the food. Close the bag and make sure it is completely closed when it is in the water. Prepare as you normally would, but now completely without plastic.Stasher in the freezer: Use Stasher Bags to freeze your food. They are brilliant for leftovers from dinner or for wet food such as fruit or meat. Stasher Bags do not take up much space in the freezer and since they are transparent, they provide a good overview.

Tips for Stasher Bags

Write on your Stasher Bag with a whiteboard pen. It comes off easily in the wash

Your Stasher Bag may be discolored by certain foods (tomato and the like). A little smell can also be transferred if you have used your stasher bag for strong foods. Both parts can be remedied with a little baking soda and lemon.

If they get a little discolored over time, you can use vinegar and baking soda to remove them, and if that doesn't work, we have another tip up our sleeve as well.

If you have Stasher bags in Clear or lighter versions, the best way to remove discoloration is to actually let the sun do the work. If you leave your bags out in the sun for a few hours or 3, the UV rays will work to remove the discolouration.

Of course, that requires it to be out in the sky.

You can also remove food smells by putting your stasher bags in the oven at 175 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure they cool down again before handling them.

You can also soak them in hot water with a little vinegar and salt for an hour. It can also help.

And then the best tip is probably just to use it again and again and again :-)

How to use Bokashi bran in your compost bin

When you start with an empty Bokashi compost bin, you start by sprinkling a thin layer of Bokashi bran at the bottom. Then you add kitchen waste little by little. Every time you put new food scraps in the container, you again spread an even layer of bran on top and lightly press the waste down before closing the lid tightly.

The combination of bran and food scraps ensures optimal conditions for fermentation. After a few weeks, you will have a valuable pre-compost that you can mix with soil, after which it is quickly transformed into nutrient-rich soil for your plants.

One kilo of Bokashi bran is typically enough for approximately 2-3 months of normal use of the compost bin.

Storage

Bokashi bran is stored at room temperature, without exposure to direct sunlight.

Glass bowl with lid

Glass is the cleanest material in which you can store your food.

It is free of hormone-disrupting substances and other chemicals that can seep into your food.

And it is extremely practical, as you can both freeze your food in it and reheat it in the microwave - without moving the food.

However, the food must thaw before you heat it, as the bowl cannot withstand excessively large temperature differences.

Glass also gives a good overview of your food and your fridge. You can see through it and thus quickly get an overview of the contents of your fridge or freezer and avoid food waste.

The plastic lids are food-grade and made of BPA-free plastic.

Please note that the bags are breathable. This means that wet food waste can evaporate and thereby reduce rotting and bad odours. We therefore recommend that you use a ventilated kitchen bin for the waste bags, so that together with the bags, it can ensure that the food waste evaporates.

The bags do not begin to compost simply with normal storage, but will lose their elasticity over time.

PUER - stain remover and bleach

Do you know Puer?

A really effective and versatile product.

Puer is an oxygen-based bleach and stain remover - which also degreases and disinfects.

Puer breaks down into water and oxygen with a lot of fizz and foam, so it is completely biodegradable.

For Puer to work properly, it must be used with water with a temperature of at least 40 degrees. The powder does not dissolve or activate in cold water.

You can also use the jojoba oil as it is both for the face and body. The oil penetrates quickly into the skin and is non-greasy.

Organic jojoba oil is full of omega 6, 7 and 9 as well as vitamin E. The oil is very similar to the skin's natural oil, also called sebum. It is therefore very suitable for all skin types and can also be used if you are affected by acne.

An organic jojoba oil is very nourishing and absorbs quickly into the skin. It is by far the least oily of all oils for homemade skin care.

Jojoba oil is also super good as a massage oil and as a hair oil.
Also try using jojoba oil as a make-up remover.

Jojoba oil has a very long shelf life. In fact, it can last up to 5 years.

It is a thick oil with a light yellow color.

• Never leave a lighted candles.

• Always supervise candles.
• Always turn off candles when you go to bed or leave the home.

Tealights made from GMO-free soy that fit in all your tealight holders. These beautiful tealights are produced in the EU from 100% vegetable wax, and are the world's first 100% natural tealights, free of petroleum-based materials. The braided wick is made of organic cotton, which ensures a clean and even combustion without harmful soot or fumes. Instead of being made from aluminium, the cups are made from plant-based materials, which contributes to the overall biodegradable nature of the product. Each high-quality tealight is 100% vegan and designed to burn for up to six hours, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, however, you cannot put the holder directly into your garden compost, as the tealight holder must be heat composted to break down naturally. For now, the holders must instead be sorted as normal plastic.

The candlestick is 3.9 cm. in diameter

There are 20 pcs. in the package

The advantages of plant-based tealights:

• 100% vegan
• Produced with renewable energy
• Burning time: +/- 6 hours per tealight
• Produces significantly less soot, so your family and pets are not polluted.
• People suffering from asthma and allergies can burn these candles.
• Soy wax generally burns slower than other waxes, so they are quite economical to use.
• Any spilled soy wax can be easily wiped up with a cloth and warm water.
• The candles burn down completely. This means that very little is wasted.

What is a Stasher Bag?

A Stasher Bag is a reusable and completely sealed silicone bag for storing your food, your toiletries and the like.

It is also brilliant for packed lunches.

A Stasher Bag can replace zip bags or the classic freezer bag and can be used thousands of times times.

Stasher Bags are made of pure platinum silicone, which is the absolute purest form of silicone. It is also called "liquid glass". You can safely store your food in it - including fatty and acidic ones.

Platinum-hardened silicone is primarily made of sand and oxygen. No fossil resources are therefore used in the production of Stasher Bags, nor resources that could otherwise be used for food production.

Stasher Bags can also withstand heating in the oven, microwave and sous vide pan.

The silicone bags are completely airtight when closed.

Also feel free to use Stasher Bags for freezing your food. The silicone bags are transparent and therefore give a good overview of the contents, while also saving a lot of space.

How to use your Stasher Bag

As you have probably already discovered, Stasher Bags can be used for a great deal. Here are some tips for use in the oven, microwave, sous vide pot and freezer.

Stasher in the oven: Place your open bag on a baking tray and put it in the oven. We recommend heating at a maximum of 210 degrees. And leave the bag slightly open so that the steam can escape.Stasher in the microwave: Leave the bag open here too when you heat food in the microwave. If you are going to make popcorn, we recommend a Stasher Stand-up. It gives a little more space to pop.Stasher in Sous vide pot: Put the food in the bag and slowly lower it into the water. The heat causes the air to seep out of the bag and will create a vacuum around the food. Close the bag and make sure it is completely closed when it is in the water. Prepare as you normally would, but now completely without plastic.Stasher in the freezer: Use Stasher Bags to freeze your food in. They are brilliant for leftovers from dinner or for wet food such as fruit or meat. Stasher Bags do not take up much space in the freezer and since they are transparent, they provide a good overview.

Tips for Stasher Bags

Write on your Stasher Bag with a whiteboard pen. It comes off easily in the wash

Your Stasher Bag may be discolored by certain foods (tomato and the like). A little smell can also be transferred if you have used your stasher bag for strong foods. Both parts can be remedied with a little baking soda and lemon.

If they get a little discolored over time, you can use vinegar and baking soda to remove them, and if that doesn't work, we have another tip up our sleeve as well.

If you have Stasher bags in Clear or lighter versions, the best way to remove discoloration is to actually let the sun do the work. If you leave your bags out in the sun for a few hours or 3, the UV rays will work to remove the discolouration.

Of course, it requires that it is up in the sky.

You can also remove food smells by putting your stasher bags in the oven at 175 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure they cool down again before handling them.

You can also soak them in hot water with a little vinegar and salt for an hour. It can also help.

And then the best tip is probably just to use it again and again and again :-)

Reusable coffee filter

Pack of 3 reusable coffee filters from Danish Cocoon Company.

The coffee filters are in GOTS certified organic cotton.

The coffee filters can be used again and again and that way you can ditch the disposable filter.

By using your coffee filter again, you save both the environment and your economy from unnecessary resources and expenses.

If you use, for example, 3 coffee filters per day, you use a total of 1095 coffee filters per year. You save them with these 3 filters, which should last 1 year each if you take good care of them.

In addition, a fabric coffee filter is also extremely effective at capturing the coffee oils from the coffee, which are the ones that can cause stomach aches. The coffee oils settle in the filter, which must then be boiled out once in a while - see below.

These coffee filters are in size 4, which gives 6-12 cups.

The coffee filter measures 19.5 x 13 cm.

How to use your reusable coffee filter

Put your ground coffee directly into the coffee filter and use the filter as you usually in either a coffee machine or funnel.

The coffee filter is rinsed and hung to dry after each use. Nothing else is necessary, but you can use a mild detergent if you wish.

Maintenance of your reusable coffee filter

Before the first use and then every 6 - 8 weeks, the coffee filter should be boiled for 10 minutes to remove any coffee oils.

If food gets on your coffee filter, you should also boil the filter in approx. 10 min.

If your coffee filter becomes too dense over time, so that the coffee has difficulty flowing through, you can benefit from boiling it with a little limescale remover. For example this really effective and conscious version.

After use, you can pour the coffee grounds into the compost - or maybe use it as a scrub:-)
