Plastic Free July: Simple Swaps for a Sustainable Home

Plastic Free July: Simple Swaps for a Sustainable Home
This July, let’s celebrate Plastic Free July by embracing some sustainable swaps in our daily routines—from the kitchen to personal grooming. Here are our top tips for reducing plastic waste around the house, featuring both our eco-friendly products and some easy lifestyle changes.
Kitchen
Swap 1: Dish Soap and Soap Cage Wave goodbye to plastic bottles with our natural dish soap and a handy soap cage. This dynamic duo will leave your dishes spotless while cutting down on plastic waste. Our dish soap is crafted from pure plant oils, making it tough on grease but gentle on the environment.
Swap 2: Silicone Food Covers Instead of cling film or plastic bags, try silicone food covers. These reusable covers come in various sizes and can stretch to fit over bowls, pots, and even half-cut fruits, providing an airtight seal that keeps your food fresh longer.
Laundry
Swap 1: Soap Flakes for Laundry Switch to our soap flakes for a gentle, effective clean that’s kind to both your skin and the environment. These flakes are made from natural ingredients and are packaged without plastic, perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies.
Swap 2: Choose Clothes Made from Natural Fibres Opt for clothes made from natural fibres like cotton, linen, or wool. These materials are not only sustainable but also less likely to shed microfibres compared to synthetic fabrics. By choosing natural fibres, you reduce the release of plastic microfibres into our waterways during washing.
Hair Care
Swap 1: Original Solid Shampoo Bar Our Original Solid Shampoo Bar is your best bet for beautiful, healthy hair without the plastic packaging. It's rich in plant oils such as sweet almond and coconut oil that nourish the scalp and give your hair a vibrant shine.
Swap 2: Bamboo Hair Brush Consider a bamboo hair brush as a sustainable alternative to plastic versions. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and biodegradable, offering a durable and eco-friendly way to care for your hair.
Personal Grooming
Swap 1: Solid Shaving Bar Our Solid Shaving Bar offers a smooth, hydrating shave without the need for aerosol cans. It’s packed with natural oils that moisturise and protect your skin, ensuring a close and comfortable shave.
Swap 2: Safety Razor Swap out those disposable plastic razors for a sturdy safety razor. These long-lasting razors provide a closer shave and can significantly cut down on your plastic waste, lasting for years with proper care.
With these sustainable swaps, not only can we help the planet, but also enrich our daily lives with quality, eco-friendly products. Let's use this Plastic Free July to kickstart more conscious choices that benefit both our environment and our wellbeing. Every small change contributes to a bigger difference, so let’s start today!
