5 SUPER EASY ZERO WASTE SWAPS

1. BIODEGRADABLE TOOTHBRUSHES

Bamboo toothbrushes are quickly becoming a staple in many households, not only because they’re naturally antimicrobial, but also because of their eco-friendliness and biodegradability. While a plastic toothbrush will sit in a landfill, the best bamboo toothbrushes naturally decompose after it’s been disposed of.

2. REUSABLE BOTTLES

Whether you’re worried about plastic pollution or the amount of dough you blow on bottled water, there’s definitely a reusable bottle perfect for you.

Hydroflask

It’s super robust, great for coffee and cold liquids and will last a lifetime! Serious value here.

Hidratespark

The smart water bottle that tracks your water intake and lights up to remind you to drink through our FREE Hidrate App powered by Bluetooth. Stay healthy and hydrated with HidrateSpark 3!

Contigo

With its tasteful metallic color, you might think the ContigoCouture THERMALOCK Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle belongs in an art gallery. But wait, this thermal bottle also keeps drinks cold up to 24 hours or hot up to 10 hours.

3. REUSABLE BAGS

This is another pretty accessible one that doesn’t get used enough IMO. And it’s a staple of any zero waste starter kit! But like biodegradable toothbrushes, reusable bags have too many environmental benefits to ignore. Once you get in the habit of using them it becomes normal to be the person arguing with the self checkout that just doesn’t get that you don’t need its plastic bags. Oh, and don’t worry, there’s no shameless plug for this one (even though we do stock ChicoBag).Better Brands:

Etsy stocks a tooooon of reusable stuff. You can find heaps of hand made and beautifully designed tote bags, grocery bags, all kinda bags!
This is also another item that’s pretty easy to find. If you can’t find it at a supermarket chain near you though, check your local health food stores.

4. REUSABLE SAFETY RAZORS

It’s easy to see excessive plastic use when we go food shopping, but one area we might not pay as much attention to is in our shaving habits. Think about it: whether you use disposable razors where you throw away the whole thing or cartridge razors where the disposable blades are encased in plastic, if you shave a few times a week, all that waste can really add up.

Futur Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor

Merkur Futur adjustable-gap double edge safety razor featuring a unique snap-on cap design with an elegant matte chrome finish. The adjustable settings control the blade gap, allowing you to fine-tune the closeness of the shave.

Vikings BladeThe Godfather Safety Razor

This long-handled razor is ergonomic and comfortable for safety razornovices and pros alike. It has built-in safety features to ensure you’re loading the blade properly and provides a mild shave that’s easy on sensitive skin.

WeishiLong Handle Double Edge Safety Razor

Affordable, Forgiving Razor Great for Beginners

This razor is great for those with sensitive skin and easy to use for beginners. The butterfly opening makes changing blades simpler than other razors, and the blade exposure is low, which makes for a safer shave.

5. RECYCLED TOILET PAPER

We know, it’s a little surprising to think that this is a thing. In fact, zero waste toilet paper is even a thing! When you think about it, using toilet paper is literally just flushing your money down, well, the toilet. But considering how much TP Americans use, wouldn’t you like to wipe your tush in the most sustainable way possible?

Who Gives a Crap

PREMIUM BAMBOO TOILET PAPER

Made with 100% forest friendly bamboo
No inks, dyes or scents
Luxurious trois-ply (that’s 3-ply in French, darling)

Nature Value is another rear end winner. They’re a bit thinner than the above, but great for the more minimalist wipers who want to further reduce their consumption. You can buy some of their rolls off Amazon.
