The best option is determined by the number of expected usage occasions, the remaining lifespan, and the total cos

Sustainable shopping without choice overload: the Kyndly decision ladder
Short answer: sustainable shopping usually doesn't start with finding the 'greenest' new product. The best order is generally: use what you already have, repair what is broken, borrow or rent what you rarely use, choose second-hand or refurbished, and only then buy a solid new product.

Eco-capitalism: qualitative growth and recovery instead of 'growth for growth's sake'.
Let's be honest: the term "capitalism" has acquired an almost toxic image in recent years. In sustainability circles, degrowth is the new buzzword. The idea? We need to put the brakes on the economy, produce less, and above all: get smaller. While the intention is certainly excellent, and we at Kyndly certainly support this idea in essence, the question is: is it a realistic model? With the current wind blowing through Europe, driven by America, the opposite of degrowth see
