Plastic Free July 2023 - small changes that can make a big difference - are you ready to join the challenge ?

Fantasy Castles are proud to be plastic free and have been for some time now.
Our environment is very important to us and by making small changes to how we work and what supplies we use can make a big difference to our environment. We need more like minded people and businesses to join in and are are here to mentor
and offer any suggestions.
it could be something as simple as using reusable drinking bottles instead of plastic water bottles - every little helps.

We have made lots of changes over the last few years to reduce the amount of plastic we use and are now at the bare minimum. Here is a list of some of the plastics we have been able to swap for reusable alternatives :

  • Cotton Buds - we now use silicone applicators and disinfect between clients.
  • Baby wipes - we now use washable bamboo wipes with essential oils
  • Anti-bac cleaning wipes - we now use washable towels with cleaning spray or blue roll
  • Cleaning sprays - we now buy concentrated formula and reuse our spray bottles
  • Water bottles - staff now use washable drinking bottles
  • Bouncy Castles - our end of life castles are recycled to make pool toys or handbags
  • Balloons - we now only use 100% latex balloons. These are biodegradable and come from sustainable resources. We don’t use foil balloons

So as you can see, a few small changes which have actually saved us money as well as saving our environment !
