Bathroom

Low waste bathroom: everything you need to minimise waste and make sustainable swaps 🌎

Nowadays, most of us have heard or are very familiar with the terms low waste or zero waste. The truth is, to get to zero waste, one needs to reduce the current amount of waste they’re producing every day. That’s exactly what this section of our homeware will be useful for! 

Decreasing the amount of waste you create by switching to more sustainable alternatives in your home, more specifically, in the bathroom. We have onboarded brands and sellers that are committed to offering a variety of products to help you prevent unnecessary waste, and that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that more products are reused instead of being discarded.

Get rid of the wastefulness: practical changes to facilitate recycling and reduce your footprint ♻️

Switching to bar soap could be a huge change for some of us, but it does decrease our plastic consumption tremendously. Liquid soap is normally packed in plastic containers, bar soaps are often not packaged at all - and when it comes to bar soaps, you will definitely profit from having a sustainable soap holder! 🧼 

One of these will obviously guarantee that your countertops and bathtub ledges stay clean from soap residue, but also last a long time. And once you decide it’s time to dispose of it, think about materials that can be compostable - like bamboo! Which is biodegradable. 

Reusability: the key to not overbuying the same item mindlessly and repetitively 🔁

There are many hygienic products in the bathroom that are used once and thrown away, such as plastic disposable razors, cotton pads, and swabs, plastic bottles and tubes, etc. Many of which aren’t even recyclable, unfortunately. 

Thankfully, if you’re looking to switch those wasteful products to more sustainable goods, this section of our website will definitely have what you’re looking for. Have a look at our reusable cotton pads by Poor Christine, handmade in Spain! 

These are a great alternative for a more sustainable lifestyle; after you use it a few times, throw it in the wash, and you’ll have a brand new, clean, and fresh cotton pad to be used again and again. No need to buy new ones (for a very long time)!

Socially responsible options: how to get started on a low waste lifestyle 🏡

In North America, the term "Q-tip" is often used as a genericized trademark for a cotton swab, you know, those items that we use to clean our ear canals. These small little ear-picks can also be switched to more sustainable options, such as reusable ones. There are a ton of swabs in a single box, normally with loads of plastic. 

Our environmentally friendlier options are made with bamboo instead of plastic, and a sturdy layer of cotton that can be cleaned to be reused afterward! No more waste in this area. 👂
