Here are five environmentally-friendly product options that can replace plastic, benefiting both your health and the environment:
- Tote bags or jute bags can replace plastic bags for market and shopping.
- Bamboo bottles are a great alternative to plastic bottles, which can have negative health effects, including leaching harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, increasing the risk of cancer, and containing microplastics that can be ingested with water. Reusing plastic bottles can also lead to bacterial contamination.
- Bamboo toothbrushes are widely available and offer an eco-friendly alternative to plastic toothbrushes, which can contain microplastics. Making the switch to a bamboo toothbrush can benefit both your health and the environment.
- Eco-friendly floor cleaners made with plant-based, chemical-free ingredients are a great alternative to chemical floor cleaners that can be harmful to kids and pets.
- Bamboo combs are a gentle and eco-friendly alternative to plastic combs, which can cause damage and generate static. Choosing a bamboo comb can help improve hair appearance and reduce breakage and split ends.
Remember to read the ingredients and manufacturing process of any eco-friendly product you purchase. We will soon release a video on how to choose eco-products, so stay tuned.
