As single-use plastics are getting out of control and only a small percentage are recycled, moving on to more sustainable products can help reduce waste and protect the planet. 

Though much of the responsibility lies on businesses and the government, working toward global sustainability can start right at home. With that said, there's still a lot you can do right at home to help reduce waste and help the planet today.

Transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle can be a struggle but these recommended products will help you live more sustainably in every room of your household.

1. Clean Essentials Kit - Blueland

This is eco-friendly brand creates green cleaning products by using reusable bottles and dissolvable tablets. Just add a tablet into one of the reusable bottles and fill it with water to let it dissolve and then it's ready to be used as a cleaning product.

2. Dish Washing Block Soap - No Tox Life 

This dishwashing bar soap is a game-changer. It's simple, just rub the sponge onto the block of soap and it's ready to scrub down any dishes. It provides the same clean without having to purchase unnecessary plastic packaging.

3. Sustainable Bedsheets - SensibleRest 

Cotton is the #1 fabric used in bedding but is also the worst fabric as it's poor for the environment. Producing each kilogram of cotton requires 20,000 liters of water. SensibleRest's Eucalyptus bedsheets are more natural and environmentally friendly than any other company. 

4. Shampoo Bar - HumanKind

This container-free shampoo is the next step to showering more sustainably. It might be different than squeezing out shampoo but it still has the same lather effect and cleanses hair just the same.

5. Bamboo Dish Cloth & Kitchen Wipes - Whiff Botanicals

Believe it or not, microfiber towels are non-recyclable microplastics, and using them in the washing machine could pollute the water system. These bamboo dish cloths are a great alternative to using paper towels and are made from a more sustainable fiber.
