The upsides to downscaling
Smaller homes offer less work and costs, and bring families closer
REP REPORTER
Ongoing lockdown
restrictions have caused
many people to seek out
more space after being confined
within their homes for months on
end.
While this presents a good
option for some homeowners,
others might benefit more from
what they stand to gain by
d ow n s c a l i n g .
Adrian Goslett, regional
director and CEO of RE/MAX of
Southern Africa, explains that
there are many perks to living in
smaller spaces.
“Living in a smaller space is far
more cost effective.
“Not only will the monthly
installments on a smaller home be
more affordable, but owners will
also save on monthly rates
accounts and maintenance costs.
“Larger homes often mean
running up larger water and
electricity bills than in a smaller
h o m e ,” Goslett explains.
Shoprite Group recycles sanitising wipes
REP REPORTER
The Shoprite Group is the first retailer
to recycle sanitising wipes from its
1,328 supermarkets nationwide, the
retailer said in a statement.
The wipes, which are green in
colour to identify them as 100%
recyclable polypropylene, are used
to sanitise baskets and trolleys and
are sent for recycling after use.
The bucket container and all
stickers on the bucket are also 100%
polypropylene and recyclable.
It is estimated that 129 billion face
masks and 65 billion plastic gloves
are discarded every month, globally.
Since the onset of the pandemic,
retailers have been faced with a
number of environmental challenges
including a huge increase in the
quantity of wipes.
For the Shoprite Group, this has
amounted to tens of thousands of
kilograms a month.
The Group partnered with Sani-
Touch to provide it with 100%
recyclable wipes and has embarked
“Smaller homes also mean
fewer spaces to clean and less
space in which to store
unnecessary items.
“In a smaller home, every
square metre is essential.
“This also means that every
room is highly functional, which
lessens the chances of having
unused rooms in the home,” he
adds.
Though having too little space
can prove taxing on the
household’s relationships, having
too much space can be equally
ch a l l e n g i n g .
“One thing lockdown taught us
is the importance of human
connection.
“In the busyness of everyday
life, finding the time to connect as
a family can be challenging
enough without having to find
each other spread across the
various rooms in the home.
“Smaller homes force more
interaction, which minimises the
chance for families to live past one
another, as so easily can happen

on a programme which sees them
r e cy c l e d instead of being thrown
away with general waste and ending
when living in large homes with
multiple rooms,” says Goslett.
Many homeowners have also
learnt the value of living in a
suburb that is closer to nature
rather than to the office.
“Following the initial hard
lockdown, many have chosen to
move away from the main
business hubs and relocate to the
country in search of a more
relaxed lifestyle.
“By purchasing a smaller
home, one might be able to afford
to live in perhaps a more desirable
suburb and enjoy a higher quality
of life without being cash-strapped
by bond repayments,” he says.
Ultimately, Goslett encourages
homeowners to find a home that
suits their unique needs.
“Property is one of the most
expensive purchases a person can
make. To ensure these purchases
work for you instead of against
you, buyers need to view this
decision as a medium- to longterm
investment.
“For the best chance of
up in landfill. The increased quantity
of wipes, and the opportunity to
source locally resulted in the Group

securing a good profit upon
selling, homeowners should hold
onto a property for roughly five to
ten years.
“This means they need to be
sure they can live within the home
for a number of years before going
ahead with the purchase,” he says.
For those who are unsure about
what their next property purchase
should be, Goslett recommends
setting up an appointment with a
RE/MAX agent to discuss the
possibilities.
“It can be a lot easier to make
up your mind after viewing a few
options in person.
“Be honest and upfront with
your real estate agent and let them
know you would like to explore
various options of both smaller and
larger homes.
“They can then walk you
through a few properties and
provide you with some valuable
guidance along the way.”

moving more wipe products across to
the locally-sourced polypropylene.
“With small changes to the way we
do things we can ensure that singleuse
products such as wipes don’t
only offer excellent infection
protection but can also be
environmentally neutral,” said Group
sustainability manager, Sanjeev
Raghubir.
The wet wipes supplier, Sani-
Touch said that volumes in the past
had not been big enough for many
companies to recycle, but by
including the buckets, and with the
volumes of wipes that the Shoprite
Group used, this had now become
viable.
“Wet wipes have proven to be
invaluable in the fight against the
coronavirus, as well as in general
infection control in public places and
in medical facilities, eliminating the
chance of cross infection.
“As a manufacturer our
responsibility is to ensure that these
products do not pose a risk to the
e nv i r o n m e n t .”
