Looking to reduce your daily impact on the environment but don’t know where to start? Swapping out everyday products with eco-friendly versions is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
At Earth Relief, we’ve curated a list of the top 10 everyday items that have an eco-friendly counterpart—so you can live greener without changing your entire routine.
1. Plastic Bags → Biodegradable Carry Bags
Plastic bags are among the top pollutants. Our Earth Relief biodegradable bags are durable, compostable, and safe for the environment.
2. Plastic Bottles → Reusable Stainless Steel or Copper Bottles
Stay hydrated without the plastic waste. A one-time investment in a reusable bottle can eliminate hundreds of disposables.
3. Paper Towels → Cloth Wipes or Bamboo Towels
Switch to washable cloth wipes or reusable bamboo towels. They’re more absorbent, longer-lasting, and save trees.
4. Plastic Cutlery → Compostable Cutlery
Whether you’re hosting a party or packing lunch, Earth Relief compostable spoons and forks offer a guilt-free alternative.
5. Liquid Shampoo Bottles → Shampoo Bars
Shampoo bars eliminate plastic packaging and often last longer than liquid alternatives.
6. Plastic Food Wrap → Beeswax Wraps or Silicone Lids
Reusable wraps and lids are excellent for storing food safely without the plastic waste.
7. Plastic Toothbrush → Bamboo Toothbrush
Billions of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfills yearly. Make the switch to bamboo—it’s biodegradable and works just as well.
8. Disposable Sanitary Pads → Reusable Cloth Pads or Menstrual Cups
Healthier for you and the planet, these alternatives are gaining traction for good reason.
9. Plastic Straws → Steel or Bamboo Straws
Ditch single-use straws for durable, reusable ones. Many come with a cleaning brush and pouch for easy carry.
10. Plastic Garbage Bags → Compostable Trash Bags
Dispose responsibly with Earth Relief compostable trash bags—designed to break down without releasing toxins.
