This year, our friends at ecostore are making reducing plastic waste easier than ever.
Since it’s Plastic Free July and we’re all being asked to reduce or even eliminate plastic from our day-to-day lives, we thought we’d share some ways to reduce your plastic consumption for good.
Laundry concentrates
Choosing a concentrated laundry liquid means less product and less packaging. Using 55% less plastic and water, in a fully recyclable and reusable pump bottle, ecostore’s 3x Laundry Liquid does its magic with just three pumps required for a standard load. And because there’s enough for 40 laundry loads in every 480ml bottle, it’ll take up a lot less shelf space too.
Hair care bars
If you haven’t yet noticed that shampoo and conditioner now comes in bars, where have you been hiding? With a variety of different hair care bars for different hair types, ecostore can help your locks stay luscious the plastic-free way. As you’d expect, they’re plant and mineral-based so you can also rest assured they’re safer for you as well as your world.
Soap bars
The humble soap bar is having a comeback. Goodbye little plastic pump bottles. Hello rich lathers, nourishing formulations and beautiful fragrances that leave your skin clean and soft (don’t forget the block dock to keep your soap fresh too). You can see ecostore’s wide range of soap bars online but we highly recommend smelling it in their shop.
Reuse and refill
Did you know that you can take your ecostore empties to their Freemans Bay shop and get them refilled? Or you can buy in bulk and refill your bottles at home. However you choose to reuse your bottles, it makes a lot more environmental sense than throwing them out and starting again.
Plastic return
The most sustainable companies take responsibility for their own plastic waste. You can drop all your empty ecostore bottles back into their flagship store in Freemans Bay (or other bottle drop stations around the neighbourhood) and they will take them away, grind them down and turn them into brand new bottles.
