On your sustainable swap journey, the bathroom is a great place to start! We know making an effort to reduce your waste can feel almost impossible sometimes. But, we're all for progress over perfection because all the small efforts are what add up to big change! 

Read on for our list of easy, eco-friendly bathroom swaps you can make to have a kinder on the planet, reduce your single-use plastic and get a better understanding of the products you're using on your body.

Metal Razors

Have you ever thought about how much plastic waste is created from disposable razors?

Even razors that make claims to be ‘reusable’ with refillable cartridges still include more plastic and can’t be easily recycled. Most of us probably think of our parents or grandparents when we think of a metal razor and it sounds a bit daunting.

 There are many brands changing the game when it comes to eco-friendly razors that are easy to use and function almost exactly the same as razors you’re used to. A metal razor is an easy eco-swap you can make.

 Try an epic eco Aussie-brand like MYSMOOTH, who are changing the game for smooth, irritation free shaving while reducing plastic waste.

Bamboo Toothbrush

 Let’s take a minute and think about plastic toothbrushes. We use our toothbrushes everyday, twice a day. In our lifetime, imagine how many toothbrushes we will have and go through.

That’s a huge amount of plastic going to landfill, taking thousands of years to break down.

Make a simple swap to a bamboo toothbrush. Just as effective as the usual you’re used to but significantly reduces your plastic waste!

The Bamboo Toothbrushes from the Australian zero-waste one-stop-shop, Go For Zero, are a fantastic option on your sustainable swap journey.They’re naturally good for you and the planet.

Sustainable Period Care

 For people with periods, finding an eco-friendly period care solution that’s functional can be really tough. Well, it used to be! Make the simple switch to sustainable period care products like our Inoya Period Cup, and reusable cotton pads and liners.

 Our sustainable period care range has been designed to be safe for your body, functional and easy to use, and kinder to the planet. One period cup can cancel up to 11,000 tampons from going to landfill. How good is that?

 Looking to make this sustainable swap? Try our Inoya Period Cup. With a soft cup and patented loop design, our cup has been designed with your functionality, ease of use and comfort in mind.

Loofah Alternatives

 A super easy eco-swap to make in the bathroom to go plastic-free is to ditch your plastic loofah! Synthetic loofahs have a short lifespan and are actually a breeding ground for bacteria and wash microplastics down the drain.

 There are plenty of sustainable loofah alternatives on the market now made from plant fibres or a bamboo brush, or you might opt for a wash cloth instead.

Solid Shampoo and Conditioner

 How much plastic do you think we go through from our bottles of shampoo and conditioner to wash our luscious locks? Especially in the summertime. That’s a lot of plastic that sadly ends up in landfill if not properly recycled.

 A great zero-waste alternative for your hair care routine is solid shampoo and conditioner.

These options are surprisingly easy to use and because they are compact and liquid-free, they’re great for sustainable travel too. Win-win!

Ethique has a great range of solid haircare products to make your eco-friendly bathroom swap journey even easier.

With these sustainable swaps under your belt, you’re ready to turn your bathroom into an eco-warrior’s dream in functional style.
