The bathroom is one of the easiest places in the house to start cutting down on plastic. Bottles, tubes and pump dispensers add up fast, but a few simple swaps can make a real difference. Here are five to try.
1. Switch to a shampoo and conditioner bar
Bars replace the plastic bottle entirely and last a long time. Our Dip and Humby sets pair a shampoo bar and conditioner bar in the same scent.
2. Use bar soap instead of bottled body wash
A bar of soap or body wash bar has no pump and no plastic bottle to throw away. Pair it with a compostable soap bag to keep it dry between uses.
3. Try toothpaste tablets
Toothpaste tablets come in a refillable jar, so there is no tube to send to the landfill.
4. Refill your hand soap
Keep one good pump bottle and refill it. You buy only the soap, not another bottle each time.
5. Add shower steamers
Shower steamers are a plastic-free way to add scent to your shower routine.
