King's Day is the time to look for gems at the flea market, or to clear out the attic and give things a second life. Good for space at home and for the environment. Because what you no longer need may be just what someone else is looking for.
Pass on stuff
Have you cleaned up recently and collected items you no longer use? Put them for sale at the free market on King's Day. This way, you will give them a second chance and make someone else happy. Are there any items left over? Then take them to a charity shop or give them away. There is no need to throw things away if they are still usable.
Buy second-hand
The free market is the place to find something special for a small price. From children's toys and books to kitchen utensils and vintage clothes. Second-hand shopping is not only sustainable, but also fun and surprising.
Smart partying = less waste
A little preparation makes all the difference. Bring a sturdy bag when you go out, and use a reusable cup or bottle during the party. Choose snacks without unnecessary packaging or bring your own treats in a lunch box. These are small habits with a big effect.
Set a good example
Children watch. By buying, selling and handling waste sustainably, you show that a party can also be done responsibly. And maybe next year they will go out themselves with a rug full of toys that will make someone else happy.
Together we make King's Day greener
Whether you are browsing the market in the morning or going to an orange party with friends in the afternoon: you are making a difference. Celebrate, leave no mess and think of tomorrow. Together, we will make King's Day not only an orange, but also a greener celebration.
