Countless volumes of plastic and other disposable items head to the landfill every single day. Lucky for you, there are gobs of simple reusable swaps you can use everyday to help minimize excess waste and small shops in every state. Kitchens and bathrooms are prime spots for making some simple swaps, and small shops on Etsy have an array of innovative reusables for almost everything imaginable (yes, including reusable toilet paper)!

Smart kitchen swaps

The kitchen is where a lion’s share of household waste originates—especially of the paper and plastic variety. In addition to buying food staples in bulk and choosing products with minimal or recyclable packaging, these simple swaps can put a big dent in your trash production.

It’s easy to skip disposable plastic forks and spoons with this thoughtfully crafted cutlery wrap in tow. Constructed from a sturdy cotton-and-linen blend, it keeps your straws, reusable chopsticks, and portable cutlery safely tucked away in your reusable lunch bag or work tote. The wrap features four pockets, a handy flap that folds over to keep everything in place, and a durable tie closure.

Zero-waste sipping

Single-use, disposable coffee and tea cups account for a whole lot of landfill waste. If you’re a daily drinker of hot or iced coffee or tea, get your green on with these reusable swaps.
