Plastic swaps for everyday life
Plastic has become an essential material in our modern world, but there are lot
s of plastic alternatives these days. 💡 Our top 5 quick wins are: 1. Reusable drinks bottles – there are now apps which can show you locations where you can fill them up on the go. 2. Reusable coffee cups – some coffee stores offer rewards for using your cup. 3. Soap bars – switch back from soap dispensers. 4. Cloth shopping bags – keep them by the door or in your car so you don’t forget them, wash them when they get dirty. 5. Metal straws – many shops sell these and they can be kept clean with a mini brush! 👍 Although a lot of household plastics can be recycled in your blue lid bin at home, reducing our use should come before recycling.
