10 Easy Ways to Be Plastic-Free in July and Beyond

For Plastic-Free July, we wanted to offer a challenge to encourage reducing plastic use. Whether for a month or beyond, focusing on small, daily changes can make a big impact on the environment. Here are 10 simple swaps you can make to live more plastic-free, and feel free to join us on Instagram for daily challenges!

1. Reusable Bags

Remember to bring reusable bags when shopping. They're easy to wash and use repeatedly—one small change that can reduce plastic waste.

2. Reusable Bottles & Coffee Cups

Switch to reusable bottles and coffee cups to avoid single-use plastics every time you’re on the go.

3. Reusable Straws

Consider using reusable straws. A pack of two straws and a cleaning brush is only $16.

4. Reusable Coffee/Tea Filters

Ditch the paper filters and switch to reusable ones, reducing waste every morning.

5. Cloth Napkins

Switch out disposable paper napkins for cloth napkins. Not only are they reusable, but they also add a touch of style to your dining experience while reducing paper waste.

6. Compostable Trash Bags

Opt for compostable trash bags instead of traditional plastic. Made from plant-based materials, they break down more naturally and help keep plastic waste out of landfills.

7. Beeswax Wraps

Use beeswax wraps as a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap for food storage.

8. Metal Shavers with Blade Replacements

Instead of disposable razors, try a metal shaver that allows for easy blade replacements.

9. Reusable Utensils

Invest in a set of reusable utensils to carry with you, helping you avoid disposable ones when eating out.

10. Reusable Produce Bags

Reusable produce bags are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. They're great for grocery shopping and perfect for storing fruits and vegetables.
