Plastic spends a small fraction of its existence serving a purpose. And the rest of the time, it threatens people, animals, and the environment. But what does plastic waste have to do with your care routines? The problem stems from the packaging. Typically cosmetics, skincare products, and hair care products are packaged in plastic packaging, which eventually adds to plastic Pollution in our environment.

If you want to help out our planet, one thing you can do is look for cosmetics that attempt to use sustainable packaging options. You can also save money by ditching paper towels for old dish rags or Swedish dishcloths, which can be reused many times.

Instead of using makeup wipes, try using reusable cotton pads, and instead of throwing away soap bars, you can buy a reusable soap bag and throw in your leftover soap pieces for zero waste! Instead of buying traditional cotton swabs, you can reduce your plastic consumption by using eco-friendly reusable swabs.

Every year 100 billion new clothing items are produced, 60% of all clothing is made from plastic which either goes right to the landfill or is burned in incinerators, and over 2.2 million tons of microfiber Pollution from synthetic clothing enters our oceans! So it’s important to be conscious of your Fashion footprint when you think about cutting out plastic from your life. Sustainable and circular brands like Tiny Rescue are paving the way by designing recycled and plastic-free clothes that produce no waste. Their products can be returned and remade into new products over and over again!
