Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people reduce single-use plastic waste at home, at work, at school, and beyond. It’s the perfect opportunity to rethink how we produce, consume, and dispose of plastic, then turn those conscious choices into lasting daily habits.
Five easy plastic swaps you can make every day
- Bring a reusable coffee cup or drink bottle. Skip disposable takeaway cups, lids and plastic water bottles by carrying your own reusable alternatives when you’re out and about.
- Pack reusable containers and cutlery. Whether you’re heading to work, school or a picnic, reusable containers and cutlery can help reduce the need for single-use plastics.
- Swap cling wrap for reusable alternatives. Try beeswax wraps, reusable food covers or containers to keep food fresh without relying on plastic wrap.
- Bring your own shopping bags and produce bags. Keep reusable bags in your car, handbag or backpack so you’re always prepared for shopping trips.
- Choose refillable and long-lasting products. From refillable cleaning products and personal care items to durable household goods, choosing reusables helps reduce waste and save resources.
