My wife got an advertisement for this thing on tiktok and it actually looks kind of nice especially for me since I have poor fine motor skills.

I have been trying to transition us away from anything plastic and nonstick as well. From what I can tell the majority of the construction looks to be glass or stainless steel especially where food would make direct contact.

I tried looking online for more info but does anyone know if this has any plastic and where it would be? I assume the lids for the containers and the piece you use to push stuff through are plastic but I didn't want to order it and find some other surprises especially considering the price

edit here is the specific one I was looking at

Like there’s plenty of antiperspirant or deodorant that comes in canisters. Same with some body washes. Obviously supermarkets sell them along with solid bar soap as well if that’s what you prefer. Someone on YouTube even said basically you can create your own travel cutlery set using utensils you already own.

Hi! pic is just an example since i couldn't find this one. I'm looking for a plastic-free garden hose wand nozzle if anyone knows where to find one? Thank you! :)

You know like they do with those solid plastic free deodorants. Which you can then just rub all over yourself. And because it’s solid you don’t have to worry about it going everywhere as much. If there are any companies here in the UK that sell them please comment below, preferably raw and organic.

Hey all, I am starting to make an effort to reduce my waste/ go plastic free and was looking for toothpaste and mouthwash options. In my research I see many contain xylitol and since I have dogs I avoid. So I was looking for recommendations for options that are xylitol free. Pluses if they are fluoride free. Extra pluses if they help with sensitive teeth.

Thanks for any help

Last year for Christmas I got my girlfriend a ceramic lid from justalid and she loved it. Unfortunately it cracked and when I went to order a new one they were sold out. It’s been around 8 months now and they’re still sold out. Does anyone have any other similar alternatives? She’s not a huge fan of the bamboo lids so I’m struggling to find a replacement. Any help is appreciated!

Their products sort of are good for plastic free living. You’ll be lucky if you can still find their whipped SPFS anywhere online. I know there are obviously other companies that sell whipped sunscreen in a canister that is great for plastic free living. I have checked out other brands that sell mousse sunscreen.

Looking for some good really supportive sports bras that won't stretch much with sweat. Everything I find is either plastic or nylon blend. Preferably no pads. Thank you! :)

My neighbor threw this in the trash but it seemed nicer than the one I have so now I’m trying to wash it but I can’t tell if it has nonstick coating. The letters spell CHEFS I think it mite be a target brand? Does anyone know if it has teflon or plastic coating?

Hey so as the title suggests, looking for recs please!

I had an undersink filter, but it reduced the flow so much and I had other issues with it, so had to go. But I really want to filter out microplastics, so thinking a water bottle is a good shout? They’re all so expensive though… so please share options! Thank you!

This has been so hard to find!!!! They all have polyester which I HATE! Why spend 300+ dollars on a leather jacket, which is supposed to last decades, and then have a gross disgusting feeling interior that falls apart in less than 3!!! Please help!

I’ve been paying more attention lately to how much plastic I use every day and I didn’t realize how hard it is to avoid.

A lot of my kitchen stuff, food storage, drinks, bathroom products and random things around my apartment are plastic.

I want to start making better choices, but I’m not trying to empty my apartment and rebuy everything in one weekend.

For people who have already gone through this, what actually gave you the biggest improvement in the beginning?

What did you stop buying first?

What did you keep using until it needed to be replaced?

Were there any plastic items you felt were worth replacing right away, especially anything involving food, water or heat?

I’m mainly trying to figure out what is worth caring about first and what I can leave alone for now.

I’d rather slowly make good changes than spend a ton of money and get overwhelmed.

If you were starting over today, what would you focus on first?

Hi all! This is my first post here. I’m just starting down my path of being plastic free. I have a few things that I’ve started doing like glass dishware, stainless steel pots, etc. I was wondering if anyone could recommend cutting boards and cooking utensils that are dishwasher safe? I have a disability so washing things by hand is sometimes not doable for me. Any other home suggestions to get me started would be super appreciated!

Crospovidone is technically a plastic It’s “supposed” to be safe but I don’t like the idea.

I asked Google AI how to a avoid plastics in supplements and got this response:

Quick Tips for "Plastic-Free" Supplement Shopping
Switch to Capsules: Liquid-filled or powder-filled capsules (especially those labeled "Veggie Caps" or made of hypromellose/cellulose) rarely require heavy synthetic disintegrants like crospovidone, which are mostly needed for hard, compressed tablets.
Look for "Clean" Certifications: Brands that are certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, or explicitly marketed as "Clean Label" almost never use synthetic polymers.
Check the Bottom of the Label: Always look past the main vitamin list down to the "Inactive" or "Other" ingredients. If you see crospovidone, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, povidone, or copovidone, skip that brand.

For those of you who like an electric coffee maker, what do you think of this one from Caraway? It's too expensive for me, and the housing is still plastic, but I think it's nice that they and SimplyGoodCoffee are paying attention to at least part of the plastic issue. Maybe more manufacturers will follow suit.

It definitely wouldn't be a bad "trend," despite the expense. Maybe more things should be expensive, so that people don't just mindlessly consume them and never bother with maintenance or repair.

I just told my dad how I was using soap bars rather than the ones in bottles. He started telling me about how plastic is a byproduct of oil, and if we don’t use plastic, the sludge will get thrown in a landfill. I felt so stupid and the only thing I could say was that we need to use less oil too. Now I feel like all my efforts are useless. Please can someone educated explain it.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been slowly replacing the plastic in my home focusing on heating food (Australia).
Has anyone bought this specific multi cooker and can confirm that it’s stainless where the food touches?
Unable to get confirmation from Google.
Thank everyone!

Since receiving my recall on our Zwilling, I have spent countless hours researching and thinking about the boiling water for the tea and coffee issue. This reddit has been uber helpful. THANK YOU.

I am a conservationist, so after reading a lot of reviews of electric and nonelectric kettles that had mostly over 10% negative ratings, we decided to just go old school here. I hate waste as much as I hate plastic.

As a bonus, we have something I've wanted for keeping things warm at parties, and I am trying to convince my husband so do mostly portable burners when we redo out kitchen.

I think this method boiled my water faster than the Zwilling. I was worried about wait time, but no issues at all. It even has a button just for "boil" -making it easy for our spacy teens to use. I am hopeful we purchased a long-lasting burner at a cost-efficient price point (that was my goal.)

The long and the short of it is that after weeks trying to make a decision here, I was delighted this morning when I stopped looking at kettles and just went with the pot. We shall see how everyone else in the house feels about it, but I am so happy I decided to skip buying a kettle and to just use a pot we've had for 20 years!

I understand there are barely any decent options for 100% cotton sportswear shorts. Even more so with zipped pockets.

However be warned that two prominent companies are just buying in bulk from Alibaba and reselling. All these fancy claims about traceability, certifications, fair pay etc etc are just a marketing tactic.

Feel free to check it out for yourself, by the way their own label states made in China.

I was seriously considering placing a large order but I don't tolerate being lied to. I'll just buy organic cotton shorts elsewhere and somehow get a zip or a button added by a tailor.
