75% of us are trying to give up single-use plastic like a toxic ex 🙅🏾♀️ And it's easy to see why, with five million tonnes of plastic used in the UK every year - half of which is packaging.
Luckily, there seem to be brands popping up on a near daily basis to help us tackle our single-use plastic problem. Here are our top 5 sexiest swaps.
1. Homethings - Next Gen Cleaning
Seen on Dragon's Den, Homethings are making cleaning cool again. All their products are cruelty-free, non-toxic, vegan, and free from single-use plastic. On top of that, they ship 0 water, reducing the shipping size by 95%. Clean.
