Fill it Forward's Favorite Reusable Products
The Fill it Forward team LOVES reuse, which means we have done our fair share of testing and research to find the best products that can (easily) replace some of the single-use items we use in our day-to-day lives. Since a lot of us have spent the better part of the year at home, we thought it would be great to share some of our favorite household reusable products.
KITCHEN
A popular choice to pack lunches in, the pliable covers of the beeswax wrap fold up around your food to prevent premature spoilage. The beeswax wraps are all-natural, zero waste and use minimal energy to produce.
Fellow B-Corp organization, Simply Straws donates 1% of gross sales to support not-for-profit organizations that help and educate against single-use plastics. Easy to clean, portable and environmentally friendly, pop one into your bag and use the straw whenever you get a drink.
At Stasher, what started as an endlessly reusable, non-toxic silicone storage bag has exploded into a global mission that’s preventing over a billion single-use plastic bags from entering our oceans and landfills. They’re also a proud member of 1% for the planet to help eliminate waste from our oceans.
BATHROOM
These gorgeous organic cotton and bamboo make-up pads are a blend of natural organic fibres and are so soft that your skin will love you. They’re machine washable and can be used with all sorts of beauty products.
While this may sound a little gross, they’re actually really cool. FinalSwab is an amazing company that is tackling the single-use cotton swab problem. They’ve created a reusable counterpart that is super durable and has been tested for 1,000 uses.
While this isn’t a fully “reusable” product we included Toothpaste tablets within the list because they can offset a large amount of single-use plastic that is used to make toothpaste tubes.
OTHER AREAS OF THE HOME & ON THE GO
