It isn't an overstatement to suggest that we are using too much single-use plastic. Only 3 million tons of plastic were recovered in 2018, while 27 million tons were dumped in landfills, according to the EPA. Additionally, this does not take into consideration the staggering amounts of unprocessed plastic waste that is dumped on land and in our waterways and seas.
Change must begin at the individual level, despite the fact that small changes may appear pointless in light of the millions of tons of single-use plastic that are thrown away annually.
The fact is, we can make smarter purchasing decisions if we consider the disposable items we use on a daily basis and find eco-friendly alternatives.
This article highlights a selection of eco-friendly products intended to demonstrate to you how simple it is to substitute some of the plastic items you currently purchase and to encourage manufacturers of recycled plastic goods. We've also rounded up some great options for eco-friendly gift ideas here.
You can essentially get rid of your single-use plastic waste in that area by replacing them. You can support the circular economy by buying products made of materials like recycled plastic bottles and those that are completely plastic-free!
So – let’s dive into our guide to the best everyday eco-friendly products, and see how you can start making a difference!
It can be challenging to determine which goods are actually sustainable because "green" claims are present everywhere, from cleaning supplies to sheet sets.
When a business falsely makes eco-friendly statements about its products that are either unsupported by research or testing or outright false, this practice is known as "greenwashing".
To avoid falling for advertising tricks like this, look out for goods with well-known, independent certification marks like EcoCert Cosmos or Fair Trade Certified. Even though a product may have a "earth friendly" logo, if the company created it, it has no real meaning.

"Not environmentally harmful" is how eco-friendly is officially defined. This implies that when it comes to goods, everything from production to packaging must be taken into account in terms of environmental safety.
Shopping sustainably means doing so in a manner that has less of an adverse effect on the environment. This encourages you to shop carefully and purchase durable goods.
A green product is one that has been created with as little negative environmental effect as possible. This can apply to items made from renewable resources, goods made from recycled materials, and items that are made to be reused or recycled.
