Blueland
Continuously buying new bottles of glass cleaner, dish soap, and laundry detergent is a surefire way to add clutter to your shelves and heaps of plastic to our landfills.
Plus, if you take a look at the ingredients of your cleaning products, the first ingredient is probably water. So you’re buying single-use containers that use a ton of plastic and are filled with mostly water. Why? Isn’t that a huge waste of resources and money?
Blueland had the same questions and cleverly came up with the solution to this seemingly endless buy-cleaners-then-trash-the-bottles cycle.
The Solution: a line of cleaning products with a refillable system. You get a set of bottles for glass cleaner, bathroom cleaner, multi-surface cleaner, and hand soap. These come with small tablets which you add to the reusable bottles and activate with water.
Simple, effective, and plastic-free. They also offer plastic free dishwashing and laundry detergent tablets with cute reusable “forever” storage tins. What more could you ask for?
Public Goods
Talk about a company that is really becoming a one stop shop for healthy products for your home and body.
Public Goods household cleaners like refillable hand soap, dish soap, glass cleaner, bathroom cleaner and dishwasher detergent pods are cruelty free, harsh chemical free, and biodegradable.
The packaging is beautifully minimal and made from sugarcane rather than plastic.
Public Goods is also budget friendly. They use a membership model to offer wholesale pricing to customers and all of their cleaning products are refillable so not only are you keeping trash from our landfill but keeping more of that hard earned money in your pocket.
Dropps
Another company keeping MILLIONS of plastic detergent containers from ever being made (and ultimately thrown away) is Dropps. Formulated with only 6 sustainable ingredients that are safe for your skin and mother earth, these little pods pack a punch. The scents are just right, their packaging is compostable and they offset 100% of the carbon emissions from shipping through their partnership with 3Degrees. Plus, have you seen their commercial The Naked Truth About Laundry? Brilliant!
Grove Co.
Sometimes, you realize at the last minute that you have no clean clothes and no laundry detergent (gasp). For times like this, the solution is Grove Co. at Target.
You can grab refillable eco-friendly cleaning essentials without going to a specialty store or waiting for shipping. Grove Collaborative believes you never have to choose between a clean house and a clean planet.
Not only do they have their own line of Grove Co. eco-friendly products, they partner with other clean companies to bring all the best in earth-loving goodies right to your door.
The companies they work with must be non-toxic, cruelty free, plant based, and offer ingredient transparency, ethical supply chains and use the most sustainable materials.
Common Good
Long before it was trendy, Common Good was offering sustainable cleaning products AND refills at refill stations across NYC.
If you don’t live in NYC, don’t worry! You can order their products online and get refills in the mail via their low-plastic pouches.
If you have sensitive skin that is easily irritated by traditional cleaning products, this brand is for you. Common Good offers all the essentials you need to clean everything from your hands to your clothes and dishes, all with 100% pure essential oils.
The formulations are cruelty free, safe for kids and pets but do not lack any of the cleaning power you need.
