I’ve worked on compiling a huge list of zero waste swaps in alphabetical order! As always before purchasing any of these zero waste products, check out the second hand market, unless of course it’s a toothbrush.
There are also several businesses you might have around town that sell items like these. Take a look as you’re more likely to have control over the packaging. If shipping these items is your only option, then get my tips for zero waste shipping.
Aluminum Foil: It's a super easy eco-friendly swap! I have one of these silicone baking mats it works a charm when I need a little more than just greasing the pan.
Binning Organics: One of the best things you can do for the environment is composting your food scraps.
Cupcake Liners: Paper cupcake liners are compostable, but reuse comes before rot! I have these silicone liners and they are high on my list of likes for reusable products.
Body Wash: Swap out body wash for a bar of soap. Often they come wrapped in paper or package free!
Brown Bag: Instead of brown bagging it look into swapping out for a metal tiffin.
Cleaning Products: Swap out cleaners that have questionable toxic ingredients for some easy homemade options.
Coffee Cups: If you’re getting your drink to-go cup bring your own cup! I use a mason jar if I’m getting something cold to drink.
Cotton Earbuds: Look for compostable buds or try a reusable stainless steel pick, just be careful because you could injure yourself.
