Step 1
Carry a reusable bottle with you to avoid buying plastic bottles. This is one of the easiest swaps. ReRoot stock Chilly’s bottles that look great and keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours.Step 2
Replace your washing up plastic sponge with a cotton sponge, wooden brush or even coconut scourers. These are all great, long-lasting options. Unlike traditional sponges, these options don’t emit pesky micro-plastics that pollute our oceans.
Step 3
Check the packaging and ingredients of your products. Reducing plastic packaging is a great start, the next step would be to look at the ingredients. Whether its cleaning or beauty products, it’s important to look out for toxic chemicals that harm the environment. Similar to the sponges, anything you use at home is washed down the sink and ends up in the sea, polluting our water sources and marine life.Step 4
BYOB (Bring your own bags). There are lots of fun bags available from string bags to printed bags and cotton produce bags that replace plastic bags while shopping.Step 5
Replace cotton balls with reusable cotton pads that are multi-use, plastic free, waste free and also save you a ton of money spent on single use cotton balls.Begin your eco journey with ReRoot
