On top of creating eco-friendly dye- and ink-free toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels, they also donate 50% of their profits to charity. 5. SHAMPOO BARS When was the last time you re-used a shampoo bottle for something? If the answer is “never,” then you’re looking at yet another single-use plastic that deserves replacement. Shampoo bars are the perfect solution—they work just like a bar of soap, eliminating the need for a container altogether. Mind Body Green has an excellent break-down of some of the best ones out there. You can also find conditioner bars and even lotion bars that work the same way. And while you’re at it, if you’re a bodywash user, consider switching back to good ol’ fashioned natural bar soap and eliminate another plastic bottle from your shower.
