Back-to-school season is upon us, but where can you find high-quality and eco-friendly products that will last all year? Look no further, you have come to the right place, Citron!
When shopping for your children, there will be a few things on your mind such as quality, design and price but you should also think about one other thing, the planet. By opting for eco-friendly products, you are helping to reduce carbon emissions, your carbon footprint and helping to promote a sustainable future. When creating our Citron products, design and quality was at the forefront of our mind as was sustainability. That is why we have a range of products made from eco-friendly materials such as stainless steel, PET plastics and Tritan, a highly sustainable material. Here are some of our favourite back-to-school pieces that we know you will love!
School bundles
Get ready for the first day of school with our school bundles! We know that children love to match their school-essentials together, which is why we have created amazing bundles out of all of our most loved patterns!

Water bottles
When you think of back-to-school essentials, water bottles might not be on the top of your list, but here is why they should be. Having a bottle that is easily accessible helps to encourage a healthy habit of drinking water regularly, which helps to maintain their daily hydration needs. If your child isn’t drinking enough it can result in a lack of concentration, headaches, and they may feel more tired during their school day.
All of our water bottles are eco-friendly as they are made from stainless steel which makes them reusable and 100% recyclable. By opting for a reusable Citron bottle, instead of constantly buying plastic bottles from the supermarket, you are sparing the planet 80g of carbon dioxide pollution every time you refill your bottle.
P.S. you can personalise all of our water bottles for free. Adding your child’s name can sometimes encourage them to drink more throughout the day and it will stop them getting mixed up with other children’s bottles.
