Living a more eco-conscious lifestyle doesn’t mean overhauling everything at once. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to the planet and your peace of mind. At Freshbinz Ltd, we believe every sustainable step counts, so we’ve put together these 10 simple swaps to help make your home a little greener.
1. Swap: Plastic bottles for refillable containers
Invest in reusable bottles and soap dispensers. Refill stations are popping up all over the UK, and they’re a great way to cut plastic waste.
2. Swap: Paper towels for reusable cloths
Old T-shirts or purpose-made cloths work wonders. Just wash and reuse instead of constantly binning paper towels.
3. Swap: Chemical cleaners for eco-friendly alternatives
Look for plant-based, biodegradable cleaning products, better for your health, your pets, and the environment.
4. Swap: Fast fashion for pre-loved or sustainable brands
Charity shops, clothing swaps, and slow fashion brands help reduce the environmental toll of mass production.
5. Swap: Disposable batteries for rechargeables
Rechargeable batteries last for years and reduce the need for frequent disposal.
6. Swap: Single-use coffee pods for reusable ones
If you love a morning brew, consider refillable pods or a French press, less waste, same caffeine kick.
7. Swap: Plastic bin bags for compostable liners
Made from plant starch, these break down naturally and are perfect for food waste and green bins.
8. Swap: Driving short trips for walking or cycling
Good for your health, the air, and your wallet.
9. Swap: Store-bought produce for home-grown herbs
Start small with herbs on your windowsill, less packaging, more flavour.
