Beauty Kubes offer a brilliant plastic-free way to wash your hair. Simply take a cube into the shower, crumble it into the palm of your hand, add a little water, make a paste, massage into your hair & scalp, then rinse. They leave your hair feeling very soft so you may not need conditioner. Each box contains 27 cubes, the equivalent of a conventional 250-300ml shampoo bottle. We love that they're compact, light and not liquid, so very handy for travel, camping & festivals. Organic, vegan, palm oil-free, sulphate-free.

If your hair needs an extra moisturising boost, Wild Sage & Co's Lavender & Rose Geranium Hair Conditioner with Organic Broccoli Oil is a real treat. It comes in a small glass bottle and is handmade with pure, natural, vitamin-packed ingredients in the Herefordshire countryside. Although it's £20 a bottle, you only need a very small amount to tame dry, flyaway hair and frizz, so a bottle lasts for ages. Hand-made, natural, cruelty-free. No parabens, SLS, artificial colours or fragrances. Tiny amount of sustainably sourced palm oil used in each bottle.

Friendly Soap bars for hair, face and body are handmade in the UK using 100% natural ingredients. They're gentle on your hair and skin and contain no palm oil, parabens or any other synthetic ingredients. Packaged in simple recycled, recyclable cardboard boxes there are lots of  amazing scents to choose from. The zesty, uplifting, and naturally exfoliating and moisturising Lemongrass and Hemp is one of our favourites. We also love the handy all-in-one travel soap for hair, body and laundry! Vegan, ethical, cruelty-free and plastic-free.

Hydrophil produces beautiful, sustainable bamboo toothbrushes that are ethically-made, water-neutral and vegan-friendly. The company works hard to ensure they reduce their negative impact on people and planet in every way they can and donate 10% of profits to Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli, a non-profit dedicated to providing access to clean drinking water for people living in the global South.

Finding a zero-waste, natural toothpaste your whole family likes can be tricky as they taste different to conventional toothpastes, and it can take time to adjust. We love this mineral-rich toothpaste blended with organic Peppermint oil (a stronger minty flavour than Spearmint). Studies have also shown Peppermint oil to be extremely effective at killing the bacteria that can cause gum disease. It's fluoride and SLS-free and comes in a glass jar that can be repurposed, or returned to Georganics to recycle as part of their zero to landfill scheme.

For those who prefer toothpaste tablets, these naturally foaming toothpaste tablets with organic Spearmint oil offer a refreshing way to clean your teeth. Simply pop one in your mouth & chew for a moment before starting to brush. These are particularly handy for travel and camping which makes them popular with our teenage boys! Free from synthetic ingredients, they come in a glass jar which can be repurposed or returned to Georganics to recycle as part of their zero to landfill scheme.

It's common to delay switching to a traditional razor due to fear of the unknown, and then when you finally get round to doing it, to wish you'd done it sooner! Bambaw's safety razor comes with an in-depth user manual to help you transition quickly so it soon becomes an easy, very smooth shaving experience that produces zero plastic waste. The bamboo handle on this razor provides grip for wet hands and the double edge safety blade refills are cheap and recyclable. Unlike other hair removal options, safety razors require no harmful chemicals, are plastic-free (did you know wax is plastic?!), save considerable money over time, and they require no electricity.

Switching to reusable menstrual products is game-changing in terms of convenience, comfort, expense and waste - when compared to disposable pads and tampons. These super comfortable, stylish WUKA period pants are perfect used on their own instead of tampons, pads and menstrual cups; or they can be used as a back-up in addition to a menstrual cup for heavy flow days or night time use. The moisture-wicking, eco-friendly underwear absorbs 4 tampons' worth of blood giving you confidence that you'll be leak-free. After use, simply soak in cold water, rinse, add to your normal washing load, then line dry. Available in extra small sizes for tweens. Made with fabrics that are kind to your body and the planet.

These top quality, soft, comfortable, organic reusable menstrual pads come in different sizes to suit your body shape and flow.

Simply soak in cold water and rinse out, before adding to your normal wash load. Honour Your Flow also offer organic cotton reusable makeup wipes for a gentle, plastic-free way to remove makeup.

Most toilet roll brands come wrapped in plastic packaging, but Who Gives A Crap is a bulk order, delivered to your door which also saves lugging toilet roll home with your weekly shopping. It comes in a cardboard box, with each roll wrapped in paper. They offer recycled loo roll (saves trees!) or bamboo (sustainable paper source). We prefer the bamboo version as it's softer. The paper wraps can be repurposed or recycled. We use ours instead of dog poo bags - to pick up, 'wrap' (!) and carry our dog's poo to the next bin. (We also repurpose newspapers for this.) 50% of WGAC profits go toward building toilets for those in need.

The best way to use less plastic is to buy less products, and make the ones you already have last longer. Not wearing makeup everyday, and knowing what suits you so you can resist fads, will save you money as well as the planet. When you do need to buy a new makeup item, the Zao range come in refillable wooden containers. They're not 100% plastic-free, but they use a lot less plastic. Plus they're organic, natural, and vegan.

Disposable wipes are terrible for the environment: they're made of plastic, block sewage systems and end up in the sea where they take decades to break down. Single-use cotton pads are not much better, requiring excessive chemicals and water to grow the cotton, and usually wrapped in plastic. Luckily, there are some brilliant alternatives. Bambaw's set includes 12 soft and 4 scrub makeup removal pads. They're cheaper over time than disposable alternatives, more planet-friendly, and better for your skin. Wash at 30 degrees in their handy laundry pouch, and reuse time and again.

We love Klean Kanteen's range of quality, durable stainless steel bottles, tumblers and flasks, designed to last a lifetime.

Klean Kanteen's insulated stainless steel tumblers are perfect for hot or cold drinks on-the-go; or to avoid disposable cups at events and festivals - for everything from coffee or juice to cocktails and pints! Their TKPro plastic-free flask is a great companion for beach trips and long walks, for a hot cup of tea after a refreshing sea dip or a challenging hike. 

Glass is one of the safest options for your reusable water bottle. Many of the alternatives, such as aluminium or plastic, have been found to leach toxins into food and drink. This good-looking, high quality, hand-blown glass water bottle from Black + Blum features a natural charcoal filter that removes chemicals from the water such as chlorine, while adding beneficial minerals such as calcium. The bottle includes a neoprene sleeve to protect against breakages and a stainless steel coil to secure the charcoal in place.

Perfect for taking the whole family's sandwiches in one container, or preparing a hearty packed lunch for one or two. Also useful for fridge or freezer storage, or for storing a batch of home-baked treats (if there are any left to store!)

This sleek, compact stainless steel lunchbox from Black+ Blum is not only stylish, it's also leak-proof so your homemade lunch repertoire can include meals with dressings or sauces.

Obviously you could just take some cutlery from your kitchen drawer and wrap it in a reusable napkin so you are prepared for food-on-the-go. We do this a lot! But it can be useful to have a more lightweight reusable cutlery set, especially when travelling. This neat bamboo set has everything you need to avoid using single-use utensils ever again. Keep it in your bag, desk drawer, or car - somewhere you will always have it when you need it. And remember to rinse after use so it's ready for next time.

Not only will you avoid wasteful use of single-use cutlery, it's actually a lot easier and more enjoyable to eat with a proper knife, fork and spoon set rather than flimsy single-use cutlery.

We love this small, multi-functional bamboo spork that fits neatly into a cork carry case. As the name suggests, a spork is a cross between a spoon and a fork, so is equally useful for breakfast, salads, main meals or puddings. This one is handshaped from a single piece of bamboo and packaged in a smart cork fabric sleeve. Cork is sustainable, durable, and wipes clean easily. Handwashing recommended to prolong the spork's life. The case can be cold machine washed.

Single-use plastic straws are devastating in the ocean but they're also one of the easiest single-use plastic items to avoid, as long as you get in the habit of saying 'no straw please' every time you order a drink! If you, or your family, prefer drinking with a straw, these high quality, stylish Klean Kanteen stainless steel straws are made from food grade stainless steel with colourful, flexible, removable silicone tips. Perfect for home, or to carry when out-and-about.

Saying no to straws altogether is the eco-friendliest option, but if you still want to use a straw, a bamboo reusable straw is a sustainable option that adds a tropical feeling to any drink. Great for families with children, the sturdy bamboo straws are hard to break. These straws come in a cotton pouch to keep all the straws in and a separate pouch for a single straw to take on-the-go.

Jungle Culture's coconut bowls are handmade in Vietnam by skilled artisan craftspeople. Over 80% of coconuts are produced for their milks, meat and oils, and traditionally the shells are used as firewood. Jungle Culture reclaims these discarded shells and turns them into an array of handicrafts that also allows farmers to earn a much needed secondary income. Coconut bowls are perfect for smoothies, salads or any other healthy meal…our boys love them!

Abeego reusable beeswax wraps from A Slice of Green are the all-natural alternative to single-use plastic cling film. The breathable design extends the life of fresh food, preserving its natural flavours.

Having the ability to make decent coffee at home will save you a fortune over time. It's also quicker than queuing for your daily caffeine hit, and of course avoids single-use takeaway cups. We love this large insulated cafetiere because it requires no wasteful pods. It simply makes delicious coffee and keeps it warm for longer, whether drinking at home or pouring it into a reusable flask or tumbler to drink-on-the-go. Plus, unlike previous glass cafetieres, it appears to be unbreakable. Remember to buy in-store rather than on-line to avoid plastic packaging.

Although wrapping paper looks beautiful, and it's lots of fun to tear it off, it's very wasteful and most modern wrapping paper is plastic coated or glitter infused. But you can still give beautiful presents without the waste, either by repurposing newspaper or pre-used wrapping paper, or by choosing reusable fabric wrapping paper instead. Wrag Wrap is a stylish, ethical, reusable gift wrap designed to make life easier, with no cutting or sticking required. In a choice of four designs with integral fastenings, you can reuse them for all your family's gifts, year after year.

It's very frustrating to see dog poo bags dangling from hedges or discarded in bushes. We pick up our dog's poo using old newspaper (or Who Gives A Crap loo roll wrappers), and on longer walks it's handy to put the wrapped poo in a waterproof, odour-proof bag, attached to the top of our dog's lead, so we can be hands-free when carrying our dog's poo to the nearest bin. Dicky Bags are a genius invention that come with a caribiner clip that you can attach to the lead, a belt or bag and the poo is safe inside until you find a bin for disposal.
