Most of us tend to use single-use products everyday, but we’re dealing with a major plastic and trash problem. Our climate crisis can’t be totally solved by consumers—the corporations causing major climate change need to do their part—but switching even some products out for an eco-friendly alternative meant to be reused again and again can help our planet. Not to mention that you can save quite a bit of money by buying a product only once.
The best reusable products are ones you’re going to want to use again and again. So if you prefer the water bottles from your favorite coffee chain or fancy handkerchiefs from a local boutique, that’s what you should get. You don’t need to be perfect. No one is saying you have to switch to reusable diapers or never ask for a plastic straw again, but we’ve compiled all our favorite reusable products so you can make a swap or two.
