At Ecosys Cleaners, we’re passionate about making life cleaner and greener. We know that small changes in daily life can make a big difference, especially when it comes to reducing plastic use. Here are ten easy and practical ways to reduce plastic in your everyday routine:
- Carry Reusable Bags Everywhere
Remember those times when you forgot your reusable bags at home? Us too. Try keeping a few cloth, tote, or canvas bags in your car or by your front door. That way, you’ll always have them handy for grocery runs or any unexpected shopping trips.
- Replace Single-Use Water Bottles with Reusable Ones
Instead of buying bottled water, get yourself a durable, reusable water bottle. Stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free plastic bottles are great options. It’s a small investment that saves you money and helps the planet.
- No to Plastic Straws
Plastic straws might seem harmless, but they add up fast. Carry a reusable straw with you or simply sip your drink without one. Many cafes and restaurants now offer alternatives like paper or bamboo straws, so go for those whenever you can.
- Use Non-Plastic Reusable Food Containers
Instead of wrapping your food in plastic wrap, try using reusable containers. Glass or stainless-steel containers are great for storing leftovers and keeping food fresh. They're more durable and eco-friendly than plastic wrap or disposable containers.
- Bring Your Own Containers
Next time you order takeout or have leftovers at a restaurant, bring your containers. It’s a small habit, but it can add up to make a big difference. Plus, packing your lunch in reusable containers is a great way to cut down on plastic baggies.
- Choose Products with Less Packaging
Look for items with minimal or recyclable packaging when you shop. Supporting brands that use eco-friendly packaging can also help to a large extent.
- Go Solid with Personal Care Products
Many of our favorite shampoos, conditioners, and soaps come in plastic bottles. Try switching to solid versions of these products. They last longer, often have less packaging and work just as well. They also give you a feel of your contribution to sustainability.
- Use Cloth Diapers and Wipes
For parents, switching to cloth diapers and reusable wipes can be a game-changer. They’re not only better for the environment but also gentler on your baby’s skin. Modern cloth diapers are super convenient and come in adorable patterns.
- Pack Your Own Utensils
Keep a set of reusable utensils in your bag or car. Whether you’re eating out or grabbing takeout, having your own utensils helps cut down on plastic waste. Bamboo or stainless-steel sets are lightweight and easy to carry.
- Switch to Capsule-Based Cleaners
Cleaning products often come in bulky plastic bottles that create a lot of waste. Our Ecosys capsule cleaners are designed to reduce plastic packaging waste. These small, powerful capsules come in minimal packaging and offer a sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning products. One little capsule can help you form 1L of eco-friendly cleaning solution without adding up any plastic waste.
