About Slate House<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here at Slate House we are committed to reducing the catastrophic effect man has had on our climate. We believe we all have a part to play in reducing the impact on our environment.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From gutted fruit to pigs bladders, hip flasks have come in all varying shapes and sizes. Traditionally now made of stainless steel, hip flasks are curved in shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This design was due to comfort and ease as a curved hip flask fits and sits better in a trouser pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know during Prohibition in the 1920’s in the USA, women would tuck their hip flasks in to their garter? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting Down on Single-Use Plastic<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since Slate House was founded in 2007, we have always strived to be as environmentally friendly as possible. We\u2019re always looking for new alternatives to non-recyclable packaging and products. One of the worst single-use plastics for our environment is plastic water bottles and containers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our products reflect our beliefs.  From our water bottles to our hip flasks, we want to create and encourage an alternative solution to single use plastic.  One that is simple and cost-effective for our customers, whilst making a positive impact on our environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw Away Culture<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

How much plastic have you thrown away this week and how much of it was recyclable?  It’s hard not to get overwhelmed by it all, however there are always solutions.  It takes time and planning but once this change has been made it can be more beneficial on the environment but also your pocket too!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refill Stations<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

More and more companies across the globe are consistently finding new and innovative ways of reducing humanity’s footprint on our planet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers Wine Merchants<\/a> in Mumbles, Swansea and The Gower Gin Company<\/a> are two companies that are ahead of their game.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save On Waste<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Director of Cheers Wine Merchants Dafydd Morris<\/a> explains why we should all save on waste.  \u201cWe introduced the Gin refill station at our Mumbles store as it gave customers a great opportunity to both save money and reuse their G\u0175yr Gin bottles which in turn helps save on waste.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has proved amazingly popular and we have many customers now reusing their bottles time and time again.  We are very proud to be the first shop in Wales to offer this service and I hope it spreads across the UK.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it safe to drink from stainless steel water bottles?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Stainless steel doesn’t contain the chemicals found in plastics that can cause severe health risks even in very small doses. It is safe at any temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
