We encourage everyone to get involved - reduce their plastic use or challenge themselves to go completely plastic-free! The good news is, every family member (yes, even your little ones!) can get involved.
We can all do our part to reduce waste and help the planet. Choosing sustainable alternatives are one of the best ways to start living plastic-free, whether that’s swapping plastic bags for reusable bags, ditching plastic straws for silicone straws or choosing cloth diapers over disposable ones.
Let's get swapping!
Say No To Plastic Cups
Staying hydrated is a daily necessity. By switching to reusable cups, you are eliminating a ton of single-use plastics that takes 450 years to decompose. Petit Tippi Toddler Drinking Cup Training Set is great alternative for home use or on-the-go. It's resistant to bacteria, easy to clean and made with 100% silicone, making it the safest natural and eco-friendly material for feeding.
Skip The Straws
If you really want a straw for your drink, why not carry a reusable one with you? Do your bit for the planet and sip from SiliSkin Reusable Silicone Straw. Once you're done sipping, it easily folds into the travel tin that you can easily hook onto your keys, backpack or purse. If you're scared about your little one spilling drinks, you can use SiliSkin Reusable Silicone Straw with Stretchy Lid.
Ditch Your Plastic Toothbrush
Toothbrush is something we will use every day. In the United States alone, it is estimated that approximately one billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year (that's A LOT!) Ditching your average toothbrush for a more eco-friendly one like Glitter & Spice Kids Wheat Straw Toothbrush will eliminate the plastic from your toothbrush handle. Wheat toothbrushes are home compostable, making them eco-friendly alternative.
Store Food Without Plastic
Rather than going through a roll of cling wrap every week, Haakaa Silicone Food Wrap is the perfect reusable eco-friendly alternative to plastic cling wrap. This 15x15cm food wrap fit most container and does not warp or crack. Whether you’re wrapping leftovers or sliced fruit, these silicone food wrap will also keep your food super fresh, too.
Switch To Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers are not only great for the environment, they're great for your baby's delicate skin and saves you money, too! You will only need a total of 24 diapers compared to 7000 disposables. To help you transition to cloth diapers, Just Peachy One Size Cloth Diapers offers a complete set for stress-free cloth diapering journey.
Cleanse With Reusables
Single-use wipes can't be flushed down the toilet. Just like other disposables, they end up in landfills that takes 100 years to break down. Charlie Banana Organic Cotton Wipes is a great alternative not just for baby's skin. Use them to remove makeup, wipe dirty hands or some spilled milk. It's natural, more absorbent and super soft.
Be A Zero-Waste Mama
Hey mama, this one is for you. Haakaa Silicone Menstrual Flow Cup can be intimidating for women, even just by looking at it. But it's the best switch you'll ever make. You can use it up to 12 hours vs up to 8 hours with tampons. After use, you sanitise it and you can reuse them again - for years! If you're still not into the idea of menstrual cup, another great alternative is Charlie Banana Feminine Pad. It's easy to wash, unbelievably stain-free, and naturally super absorbent.
