One easy way to make a real environmental impact across your home?

Replace single-use plastics with refillable systems. Not only do refillables reduce product waste, but they also help streamline your routine, save you money, and drastically cut down the amount of plastic entering landfills and waterways. Roughly 460 million metric tons (!) of plastic are produced annually.[1] However, only about 9% of this plastic waste is recycled globally.[2] A significant portion of this plastic production is dedicated to single-use packaging, which quickly degrades into microplastics, aka tiny plastic particles that enter our air, water, and even our bodies.[3] Refillable systems are one of the easiest ways to break the cycle. By choosing durable, reusable containers, you use less plastic, create less product waste, and build a more sustainable home and planet. Here’s a room-to-room guide to making the refillable switch.

Start in the heart of the home

Create refillable kitchen systems

Where we eat should be the cleanest part of our home. Why fill it with unnecessary plastics? Here are some common kitchen essentials with genius refillable options:

  • Hand and dish soaps: Refillable soaps are our number-one gateway for refillables. Not only do sturdy bottles look really great sinkside, but they’re also an easy way to cut down on plastic.
  • Multi-surface cleaners: Replace plastic spray bottles with reusable glass spray bottles. They pair beautifully with specifically formulated cleaner concentrates.
  • Pantry Staples Grab: Refillable glass jars to house bulk-bin essentials like oats, dried beans, rice, spices, and baking ingredients.

Swap plastic personal care for refillables

From shower essentials to everyday skincare products, there’s a world of products ripe for refillable swaps. Did you know that the average household throws away 12 shampoo bottles per person each year? That’s hundreds over a lifetime.

Here are some waste-reducing refillable systems to consider adding to your routine:

  • Shampoo and conditioner bars: These solid alternatives last just as long as the bottled stuff. Plus, they often have aluminum cases perfect for gym bags, travel plans, and more.
  • Reusable deodorant cases: Simply swap in the refill when you’re down to the last swipe —no more single-use plastic.
  • Body lotions: Look for refillable glass or aluminum bottles that let you restock without the waste.
  • Skincare sticks: Choose solid-format formulas that come in refillable tubes for the ultimate in sustainable skincare.

Aim for sustainable, refillable laundry care

Conventional laundry products are surprisingly laden with plastics, from detergent pods to laundry sheets. And don’t forget the bulky plastic jugs that often end up in landfills. That’s why we’re all about replacing laundry care essentials with refillable, waste-reducing picks like…

  • Concentrated detergents: Many of which come in long-lasting containers that can be refilled with bottles made from infinitely recyclable aluminum or biodegradable paper.
  • Reusable dryer balls: Fill your favorite ceramic or glass vessels with these effective wool-based balls, which can be used to help dry hundreds of loads.
  • Stain removers: Try refillable sticks or sprays that skip the plastic-heavy packaging and work just as well as their wasteful alternatives.
