Help Remedies was created to make solving simple health issues simple. It is combines a great product, witty writing and simple clean design to create a unique product. Besides that, the packaging is claims environmental-friendly too.

From the designers ” we will lead ecological change by example. Healthcare packaging is usually made from oil and takes centuries to disappear. We would like to show people that very nice packaging can be made from other types of materials. We’ve made our outer packaging of corn resin and paper pulp. We do use some plastic to surround the pills, but we don’t want to and we are working to change this.”

The Eco Kettle may look like a fairly standard piece of water-boiling apparatus, but it’s on the inside where this kettle really shines. Featuring a patented dual reservoir, you can fill the Eco Kettle to the rim and with a press of its measuring button, release only the number of cups you require into the boiling chamber – cutting down on your energy use.

Designed and developed by the UK’s Project Creation Ltd, the Eco Kettle is a great idea – especially for those who find their power conservation efforts thwarted by family members, housemates or partners.

Personally, I drink a lot of coffee and only boil enough water each time to make a cup. It makes sense. You use less power, plus it’s very quick. But when you share a kettle with people who like to keep it full, it creates a dilemma. You don’t want to boil the whole thing, but at the same time, you don’t want to pour the excess down the sink. The Eco Kettle solves this problem and makes consistent energy savings by making everybody in the household happy.

Including all the usual modern kettle features like boil-dry protection, steam control and a washable limescale filter – this 3kW cordless boiler is available with international delivery over at the Ethical Superstore for £30 | $50 | €35.
