Less Single-Use
Easy ways to reduce single-use plastics.
Using Less Single-Use Plastic
- Say goodbye to plastic shopping bags.
- Take reusable bags with you when out shopping - leave some in the car so that you always have the option. Choose paper bags over plastic whenever you can.
- Never use single-use plastic dinnerware.
- There are plenty of compostable and reusable products - whether paper, bamboo or sugarcane-based. They are infinitely less wasteful and harmful to the environment.
- Replace single-use food storage bags.
- There are plenty of great eco-friendly food storage options - from reusable silicone bags and glass storage containers, to beeswax and washable food wraps - they are long lasting and they keep plastic out of the environment.
- Clean up your laundry and household.
- Avoid heavy water-based products delivered in large plastic containers - instead, explore zero-plastic laundry sheets, dishwasher tablets and refillable household cleaners and personal care products.Avoid plastic milk and water bottles.
- Buy glass-bottled milk and refill your own water bottles at home or from water fountains, when on the move.
- Don't forget bathroom recycling.Add a recycling bin and reconsider all the single-use plastics involved in personal care - explore eco-friendly cotton rounds, floss-picks, Q- tips and toothpaste tabs and refillables for body wash and shampoos.
