The products we use: Recommended Reviewed Low Waste Products
We definitely advocate using what you have first, but these are the products that have helped us along our zero waste journey and that we have tried and tested.
We will never recommend anything we don’t believe is genuinely a great product and stand by 100%.
We use or have used these kitchen, bathroom, and day-to-day reusables ourselves and find/found them useful for reducing the waste we create in our home and when enjoying Melbourne and exploring the world.
You don’t need every shiny new sustainable product to be low waste - dedication and knowledge is much more important - but some do help, some are great replacements to keep in mind and get when your plastic version is no longer useable, and some are alternative for kitchen and bathroom products you use daily.
Some links are affiliate links and we make a tiny bit of commission if you buy anything (which gives us a little bit of money back and something for the time it takes us to keep this site going), but not all are - we just love these products!
We have in-depth articles on most of these that give more details and can help you choose the right one for you; this is just a quick visual list of the reusables and eco-friendly products we use and recommend.
