1. Shampoo and conditioner bars
Shampoo and conditioner bars will always be a staple zero waste swap. They’re a solid product meaning there’s no excess water waste and there’s no bottles to throw out at the end! Plus they can last up to 6 months depending on your hair and how frequently you wash!
Being able to refill your reusable soap dispenser at home is game-changing! No more repurchasing plastic bottles and tossing them every month.
Plastic loofahs are impossible to recycle and can carry mould in their centers. A silicon loofah is of course reusable but also anti-bacterial making for a healthier scrub!
While a Leaf Razor might be a bit of an investment up front, with proper care this is the last razor you’ll need to buy! It’s unisex, multipurpose and completely plastic-free. Its pivoting head makes use super easy! just make sure to let it dry between uses!
Easy to clean and easy to use, this reusable cotton swab cuts out single-use products!
A bamboo toothbrush is a classic zero waste swap. No more plastic toothbrushes headed to the landfill every 3 months!
A bamboo hair brush is not only more sustainable because it’s plastic-free but bamboo is also a regenerative resource. Plus, it’s better for your hair!
One of the best zero waste swaps is simply replacing single-use containers with ones that can be refilled – like this floss! One less thing heading to the trash!
Most skincare brands don’t care about you or the planet. Choosing sustainable and refillable local brands is an amazing choice!
Of course, we had to finish off this list with bar soap. Probably one of the oldest and best zero waste bathroom swaps. No more clunky bottles in your shower!
