6/8/2023 Shopping for Plastic-Free and Biodegradable Products and Clothing on the Internet. Products Made from Natural Materials.Read NowTrying to shop plastic-free is very challenging these days, whether on the internet or in-store. Thankfully there are getting to be more companies that are creating low-to-no plastic products that are biodegradable and clothing that is made from natural materials. I’ve even found quite a few options on Amazon. I will be sharing the products in this blog post that I’ve found and tried; most of them are on Amazon and Etsy to make shopping quick and easy for more people. I will be adding to this post as I find more products. Please note that Amazon’s packaging may contain plastic. Sometimes I get shipments from them in the brown paper envelopes and boxes with brown paper air pillows, and sometimes I still get the plastic envelopes and air pillows. I do try to recycle or reuse them. Also, depending on the company, they may put their product in plastic packaging, even if the product itself is plastic-free. But, at least it is cutting down on plastic. *This blog post contains affiliate links from Amazon, Etsy, and other companies.

Plastic-Free Products for Home and KitchenThis small business makes beautiful and non-toxic kitchen utensils, cutting boards, serving trays and more. They make their products from wood such as white oak and walnut. You can check out their store on Amazon: From another small business making wood kitchen products is this black walnut and stainless steel dough whisk. It works amazingly for mixing dough, but I also have been using it to froth milk for beverages and whisking ingredients in general. This whisk is featured in my YouTube video that you can see here: This is a nice set of 2 metal storage trunks. I love using them to store things around the house. They are plastic-free, except there was a plastic wrap around the middle of each one in the packaging. Clothing Made From Natural MaterialsHere are garments made from cotton, wool, and other natural materials. No polyester allowed! Polyester clothing is basically like wearing plastic. I don’t include any acrylic, nylon, or spandex products either. Although I’m trying to switch over to organic cotton, I am including non-organic cotton and material below, as it takes time and money to switch over to organic. Step by step is certainly better than not at all, so sometimes a middle-of-the-road approach is helpful to make it more doable and realistic. These pants are 85% wool and 15% cashmere. I got a pair and they are so soft and comfortable. I can even wear them in the summer, because they are so breathable. Natural and No-Plastic Products for Bath and Body CareIn this section, I will be sharing plastic-free and low-plastic products for bath and body, and makeup too. Foraged Fields makes completely plastic-free skincare and makeup. There is no plastic in the packaging or shipping either. Also, the ingredients are pure, basic, gentle, and healing. A small business run by a skilled woman with such a kind heart. Blinking Owl Acres is another small business run by a talented and kind businesswoman.
