Polymer Hemp
Don't trash our future. Say no to plastic.
Let's switch to bioplastics!
IF NOT PLASTIC THEN WHAT TO USE?
Paper or metal straws:
Aussies throw away an estimated 10 million plastic straws a day. Instead of adding to the straw pile, it’s easy to switch to more sustainable alternatives, such as glass, stainless steel or silicon. Having a party and don’t want 30 kids running around with glass tubes? You can find recycled – or recyclable– cardboard straws, too.
Paper bags:
While it has become commonplace to wrap loaves of bread in plastic bags, paper packaging is becoming an increasingly popular and easy-to-find option. You can now find bread in paper bags at most supermarkets and they have long been the preferred option for local bakeries – so if your local grocer hasn’t gone green yet, this might be a good opportunity to support small business.
WHAT TO USE?
Bamboo toothbrushes
While you’re at it, you may as well ditch the plastic toothbrush and opt for a bamboo brush instead. Aussies dispose of 30 million toothbrushes every year, which ultimately end up in landfill. Bamboo is technically a grass and it is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth so as well as being an eco-friendly plastic alternative.
Eco-friendly toilet paper
Be kind to the planet and never run out of toilet paper again. Since the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, loo roll subscriptions have skyrocketed with companies including Wipe That, Cheeky, About a Dog and Who Gives A Crap delivering paper-wrapped toilet paper directly to your door.
