Eco-friendly school supplies: focusing on sustainability

An eco-friendly back-to-school season for a child starts with choosing the right school supplies. Say goodbye to impulse purchases and disposable products! This year, we prioritize quality and longevity.

School accessories made from recycled materials that make a difference

At Deux par Deux, we've developed a complete range of school accessories made from recycled materials. Our school supplies for boys and our school supplies for girls include durable backpacks, practical pencil cases, and lunch boxes with insulated compartments.

These products aren't just beautiful – they tell a story! By choosing accessories made from recycled fibers, you show your children that it's possible to transform waste into useful and durable objects.

The art of choosing supplies that last

For a truly eco-friendly back-to-school season, invest in high-quality supplies that will last through the entire school year without problems. Opt for certified wood pencils, recycled paper notebooks, and natural erasers. Your children will learn the value of durable objects this way.

A responsible wardrobe for the school year

Clothing represents an important expense in back-to-school budgets. How to approach this intelligently? By choosing back-to-school clothing that combines style, comfort, and environmental respect.

The magic of second-hand and reuse

To succeed in your eco-friendly back-to-school season for a child, explore second-hand options! Our Relove platform allows you to buy and sell Deux par Deux clothing in excellent condition. It's the perfect opportunity to explain the concept of circular economy to your children.

Also organize family upcycling sessions: transform torn jeans into trendy shorts, add colorful patches to a jacket that became too small for big sister... These creative moments strengthen family bonds while developing children's ecological awareness.

Daily habits for an eco-friendly back-to-school season for kids

An eco-responsible approach doesn't stop at purchases. It's an opportunity to establish new family routines that respect the environment.

School transportation: rethinking our commutes

Why not transform the school-home journey into a special moment? If distance allows, opt for walking or cycling. It's excellent for health, reduces the family's carbon footprint, and allows discovering the neighborhood differently.

For longer trips, organize carpooling with other families. Children love meeting their friends first thing in the morning!

Eco-friendly lunch: feeding healthily and sustainably

Ban individual packaging and ultra-processed products! Prepare homemade snacks in reusable containers. Prioritize local and seasonal products to make your children aware of food seasonality.

Our Deux par Deux lunch boxes, with their insulated compartments and utensil pockets, make preparing healthy and zero-waste meals easier.

Teaching children about ecology: a fun and positive approach

How to talk about the environment to our children without worrying them? By adopting a positive and educational approach! The resources on Canada.ca are full of activity ideas and educational programs suitable for all ages.

Creating eco-friendly family projects

Launch fun ecological challenges: who will manage to reduce their waste the most this week? Organize nature outings to pick up trash in the neighborhood park. Create a garden on the balcony or in the yard.

These concrete activities allow children to understand their impact on the environment and develop their sense of responsibility.

School as a partner in your eco-responsible approach

Don't hesitate to discuss your environmental values with teachers. Many schools implement ecological initiatives: composting, school gardening, awareness projects. Your child will be able to find the values transmitted at home at school.

Our art smocks: the perfect example of eco-responsibility

Let's talk about our ecological art smocks! Made from recycled materials, they protect children's beautiful clothes during creative classes while being environmentally friendly. Waterproof and easy to wash, they perfectly embody our philosophy: combining practicality and eco-responsibility.

Organizing your eco-friendly back-to-school season: our practical tips

Planning purchases intelligently

Before making any purchase, sort through last year's items with your children. What can be reused? What can be given away or sold? This step develops their sense of organization and teaches them the value of objects.

Then establish a list of real needs, prioritizing quality over quantity. It's better to invest in a few durable pieces than to accumulate objects that won't last.

Involving children in choices

Transform back-to-school shopping into an educational moment! Explain to your children why you choose one product over another. Show them ecological labels, talk to them about the origin of raw materials.

This educational approach sensitizes them to environmental issues while making them responsible for their future consumption choices.

The positive impact of an eco-friendly back-to-school season

By adopting these habits for an eco-friendly back-to-school season for a child, you concretely contribute to environmental protection. But the benefits go far beyond: you're forming conscious, creative, and responsible citizens.

Your children develop critical thinking, learn the value of things, and discover that it's possible to combine pleasure and respect for the planet. These values will accompany them throughout their lives!

At Deux par Deux, we're proud to accompany Canadian families in this approach for over four decades. Our eco-responsible clothing and accessories prove every day that it's possible to create products that are beautiful, durable, and respectful of the environment.
