Love my electric Mini, one of the last made in the UK.
Stack of plastic-free soap bars
Almost two billion items of plastic packaging are thrown away in the UK each week. Shampoo, body wash and liquid hand wash add to this plastic pile-up - so switching from bottles to bars is better for the environment.

Thank you for this.
Thank you! More, please.
If you’re looking to reduce your reliance on plastic in the kitchen, you’re in luck. We’ve tested and come to recommend more than 150 plastic-free kitchen items that will have you covered from meal prep to cleanup. nyti.ms/4tRutS8
Chobani creamer new value size at Costco is in a mostly paper package.
Progress: Chobani Coffee Creamer’s new container at Costco is mostly paper instead of the previous plastic one. (And comes in four flavors.)
Michele’s Granola in a mostly paper package.
Most granola is in plastic pouches these days. Choose one in as much paper packaging as possible (if you’re not making your own, that is).
According to P&G: "Say bye-bye to plastic bottles and hello to Evo, Tide's next evolution of clean. Tide Evo is 100% concentrated to give you a powerful clean that removes 100% of common stains. It's designed with eco-friendly recyclable paper packing, which means no plastic bottles or extra water, making it ready to recycle without any mess. Just toss Tide evo tile into the wash (1 for small to medium loads, 2 for large loads) and watch it dissolve instantly to remove stains and odors"
Thrilled that Procter & Gamble is offering plastic-bottle-free laundry detergent: Tide Evo.
These toothpaste “bits” from Bite are an ingenious way to eliminate plastic from your oral hygiene routine. bitetoothpastebits.com
Thank you - yes it is like a milk carton, which like all paper packaging is lined with a film made of plastic. Still, 90% less plastic than a bottle. Since bottles are only recycled at about 5% rate, the math seems better to avoid plastic bottles and choose paper. But you remind us it’s complicated.
“Clean Cult laundry detergent refill uses eco friendly, paper-based, 100% recyclable packaging. No secret handshakes or ceremonial robes. Just a clean refill system made with 90% less plastic. We only use the good stuff to keep your clothes clean and your family safe. Our laundry detergent liquid formulas are always made without phthalates, phosphates, petroleum based ingredients, dyes, SLS, & SLES.”
One of the few laundry detergent refills in paper packaging. Restock Clean Cult while you can — they are disappearing from many stores sadly. (They are currently on sale now at Amazon.)

Milliways gum has zero plastic from the gum to the packaging. No animal products, sugar, or ASPARTAME
Chew on this.
ECOS Ultra Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent in Aluminum Bottle
Another option for plastic-free laundry detergent. (Available at Whole Foods.)
Blueland plastic-free tablets powered by enzymes Cleans dishware, glassware, silver & porcelain Made without petroleum-based ingredients, bleach, artificial dyes, or harsh chemicals
Costco currently has both Blueland dishwasher tablets AND toilet cleaner tablets -- both about the half the price per tablet than anywhere else. It's probably a good idea to support this attempt by Costco to offer plastic-free products.

Micro Ingredients™ offers 10mg extra strength sublingual and chewable melatonin tablets in refill pouches. Provides natural non-GMO melatonin in quick dissolve tablets.
Micro Ingredients™ offers melatonin refills as well. Combine with your best amber glass medicine bottle for a less-plastic solution to buying melatonin. (If we ever find a company offering refills in compostable or paper pouches, we'll post those as well.)
Thanks! I’m not endorsing the quality of these supplements, only the non-bottle package. I appreciate the one you recommend has a compostable bottle—although compostable bottles require industrial composting which is not widely available. But for those with access to it, this is an excellent option.
🟠 Plastic pellets, aka "nurdles," are tiny pieces of plastic. Their impact on birds, waterways, & communities is devastating. Birds often mistake these for food.
