D2W technology, used these for years love that they are thick
Emily's Choice Biodegradable Trash Bags
Use these with our diaper pail, not as thick like Emily’s choice bags but good alternative
Compostic 13 Gallon Compostable Trash Bags, 50 Count
Have had the same razor for going on 8 years now! Can’t recommend it enough. I know they came out with a new version…haven’t tried it yet
Original Leaf Razor Collection
Plastic packaging but otherwise plastic free, tons of uses
Swedish Dishcloths
Love these straws! Bought several packs and I keep some in the car so I don’t have to use single use plastic straws when getting boba/milkshakes/smoothies/eating out at restaurants
BOBA FIDE Stainless Steel Boba Straws Set
They have a lot of certifications and are very transparent about how they are dedicated to Climate Justice (see their website). As someone with a dog that sheds a ton I think these work better than the dryer balls
Seventh Generation Dryer Sheets Free & Clear 80 Sheets (4 Pack)
Uses up faster than traditional sponge but worth it for me
Natural Biodegradable Coconut Fiber Sponges
Love the baby unscented bar soap. Also really like to take the liquid for travel since it’s convenient and has a lot of uses, plus packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.
Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps
Like the replaceable heads, better than single use
Full Circle Scrub Queen Toilet Brush w/ Holder
Love my leaf razor but use these when I travel and don't want to worry about loosing it
Schick Xtreme Bamboo Eco Friendly Razor
Love that they are reusable because with a big dog that sheds we would go through too many bags. Also got a container from Etsy that’s 3D printed that I like as well
Reusable Dust Bags for Dreame
Love these tabs they work great, company is transparent and hold certifications that makes me feel safe to wash bottles in the dishwasher
BLUELAND Plastic-Free Dishwasher Tablets 60ct
I use them in the laundry but I also like to use these as a reusable lint roller when I’m walking out the door. Diaso also sells a reusable compact lint roller I keep in my purse that is made with a similar sticky silicone that works great
FurZapper Pet Hair Remover for Laundry, 2 Pack
Controversy over if plastic free, still feel they are better than others
Flo Organic Bamboo Daily Liners (44 Pack)
Really like this cup for traveling/keeping in the car since it doesn’t take up a lot of space and I can get water at a water fountain or use a reusable cup at a coffee shop
STOJO Collapsible Travel Cup 12oz Cashmere
Really like that they are compostable, that does mean that they will wear out within the year or maybe I am just really rough on my cases idk
Eco-Friendly iPhone, Google and Samsung Cases - 100% Compostable
Mostly use this to store washed produce at home or take them with me to farmers markets since at the store I just put the produce in the cart with no bag
12+1 Organic Cotton Reusable Produce Bags
Used these after I was told my reusable cloth ones were contributing to thrush, they worked well
Momcozy Bamboo Fiber Disposable Nursing Pads, 80 Count
This has lasted me going on 4 years now, would recommend
Wooden Hair Brush & Comb, Detangling, Massage Scalp
They have boxes you can buy but also free recycling programs you can find near you or ship trash to! I use a lot of these for the waste that I have like contacts, toothpaste tubes, tooth brushes, Cerebelly pouches, etc
Free recycling programs
They work great, was worried cause I am sensitive to gluten but haven’t had a reaction and they are labeled as gluten free
SmartLifeco Eco Dental Floss Picks 100ct
Started buying for my dandruff, does have a sulfer smell but works for me
DermaHarmony Dandruff Relief Adult Daily Shampoo with Sulfur, Salicylic Acid, Peppermint, 4 Oz, 1 Piece
