“Say Goodbye to Plastic” Are you surprised to see the heading here? No wonder. We can say goodbye to plastic products that destroy our beautiful environment. All it takes is a very small effort. So let’s find out how to say goodbye to these destructive plastics and the eco-friendly products that can help us with that.
Plastic free toothbrushes
Our toothbrush is something that all of us who live our daily lives use at the beginning of the day. According to researchers, an average person will change his toothbrush in 2-3 months. Therefore, a huge amount of plastic is released into the environment. We can go to plastic free products to prevent that disaster. Although not very popular in Sri Lanka, we can see these plastic free toothbrush products in foreign countries. By using such products in Sri Lanka, the damage to the environment can be reduced by reducing the amount of plastic released into the environment every day.
Plastic free bottles
Another big problem in Sri Lanka is plastic bottles. These plastic bottles make Sri Lanka’s environment very dangerous. A large number of bottles are used in Sri Lanka every day. It is mostly used for soft drink bottles and water boards. For example, when we use public transport, we can see how many plastic water bottle sellers board buses, and trains every day. Moreover, we can see how many plastic bottles are released into the environment during events such as music shows, various festivals and people gatherings. We need to take quick steps to reduce the environmental damage caused by these plastic bottles. Happily, various organizations have already encouraged the use of plastic-free packaging such as glass for their water bottles. So it is our responsibility as informed consumers to go for such plastic-free products.

These bags are made from food-grade silicone, which is non-toxic, durable, and can be used again and again. They are perfect for storing leftovers, packing lunches, or carrying snacks on the go. Silicone bags are also freezer-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, making them a convenient and eco-friendly choice.
Reusable Stainless-Steel Straws
Reusable stainless-steel straws are a great alternative to single-use plastic straws. They are durable, easy to clean, and can be used multiple times. Stainless steel straws are also resistant to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for hot drinks. By using reusable straws, you can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated from your daily beverage consumption.
