Plastic-Free Essentials

˚✧ Everyday essentials, free from plastic and harmful chemicals ✧˚
Curated for the Eco-Conscious

Our Mission

Plastic is not bad for the environment..

Plastic is actually bad for us because it pollutes the air, water and food which make up our environment. By unknowingly welcoming a host of harmful chemicals and plastic into our homes, we pollute our environment and damage our own health.

This is why our mission is to help you switch to convenient and affordable daily essentials which are free from harmful chemicals and plastic.

In being kind to our environment, we extend kindness to ourselves!

Eco fits go beyond thrifting & shopping from sustainable fashion brands 🌱

My sister & I picked out this cross-body bag together. I went from borrowing it to owning it when she realised how much more use I was getting out of it than her 🥳

The shoes belonged to her, too, once upon a time but they stopped fitting her after a point and I have pretty tiny feet :3

My mom’s taste in fashion has always been top tier. I have so many of her bangles and earrings and I absolutely love them ✨

This black tube top is so versatile and timeless, it’s one of my favourite things in my wardrobe 🖤

Although the green cargos are only a month old, they’re so comfy and I like them so much that I’ve already worn them 10-15 times 💚

Do you have any old clothes or jewellery that you still genuinely love wearing?

A quick li’l reality check on what recycling actually is ♻️

I was very surprised to see that nobody in the comments of Urfi’s original video pointed out how using fresh unused plastic bags as decoration on a dress isn’t recycling

This made me realise there’s some amount of confusion about what recycling actually is and I hope this video provides some clarification 🌱

#recycling #sustainability #ecoeducation #zerowasteindia #plasticpollution

Explanation ⬇️

🍳 Non-stick cookware → Did you know non-stick cookware has Teflon coating which is a type of plastic?

🕯️ Scented candles → Release airborne pollutants and fragrance chemicals cause hormone disruptions

🏋️‍♀️ Wearing plastic (polyester, nylon, etc.) → your pores open up when you workout and non-breathable plastic clothing exposes you to harmful chemicals

🧴 Fragranced products → Many fragrances contain compounds linked to irritation and hormone disruption concerns

🥤 Eating and drinking out of plastic → Plastics shed microplastics and leach chemicals into food and drinks, especially with heat

♻️ A simple change = less waste + more value

Did you know, there’s up to 2 weeks worth of product left in your “empty” bottles?🧴

Progress > Perfection, always 🌱

What’s one swap you’ve made recently that’s better for you and our planet? 🌏

#ecoliving #sustainablechoices #ecoeducation #underconsumption #zerowasteindia

Progress > Perfection, always 🌱

Honestly, even I alternate between better and best choices, depending on what I’m capable of at the time.. and that’s completely okay ✨

he is, in fact, paachvi pass se kahi zyaada tez because he 3D-printed a milk pouring container which doubles as vertical storage for the packet 🥲

Made this one mainly for educational purposes in case anybody else struggles with pouring milk as well 🥛👀

Plastic is bad for 🫵

“Plastic is bad for the environment” couldn’t be more far from the truth 🧐

Plastic does pollute our environment, but who is it really bad for?

📉 Dropping fertility rates, disrupting endocrine system, microplastics entering the human body.. plastic is horrible for human health

Small changes make big improvements to your health 💪

#microplastics #plasticpollution #healthyliving #sustainableliving #climateeducation

🏋️ Protein-tracking and calorie-counting toh theek hai, par plastic-tracking ka kya?

Are you consuming plastic with your tea, beverages and cookware without even realizing it? 🫣

☕ Tea bags release millions of microplastics in hot water 🍳 Non-stick cookware exposes you to plastic-based coatings 🥤 Plastic-lined takeaway cups aren’t as harmless as they look

Small changes help your health in big ways 💪

✅ Switch to loose tea leaves ✅ Choose iron or steel cookware ✅ Carry a reusable cup

Lesser plastic = Better health 🌿

Creativity really came to the rescue! What have you upcycled lately? 💚

Sustainability ❌Does Not need to look complicated or expensive 💸

And I hope that this series helps you to see that 💚

I have been practicing a zero waste (or a low-waste and minimal, more accurately) lifestyle for about 6 years now

And practicing this lifestyle has helped me save so much time, space and money!

✨Remember that:

💚 Small efforts amount to big changes over time

(Saving half a bucket of water a day might not mean much but saving it over a month would amount to 270 litres of water)

💚 Revolutions always occur in waves, with early adapters being trend-setters, which the masses eventually adapt to

(Think of how much the organic groceries market has picked up over the past decade, for example)

💚 Doing your best is always better than doing nothing!

This week’s 🌱Green Habits🌱 were focused entirely on ❌not letting resources go to waste 🗑️

🍀The repaired hanger 👩‍🔧 now easily takes the weight of lightweight clothes like shirts 👕

Fixing it with paper tape barely took me 2 minutes ⏱️

It was such a quick fix 👌 to help extend the life of a product that a ton of 🏭resources went into producing

✨Repairing is always more sustainable than replacing or recycling✨

🍀My family doesn’t use plastic bottles anymore as plastic leaches🧪 hormone-disrupting chemicals and microplastics into food and water 🍛

I made citrus Bio Enzyme🍋 using lemon and sweet lime peels in the bottles

They were perfect for this because they had a wide mouth and were air tight as well

💛If you’re new to Bio Enzyme, it’s a multi-purpose liquid made from fruit/veggie peels, jaggery and water (in a ratio of 3:1:10)

After it’s fermented for 1-3 months, you can dilute it and use it as a

Floor cleaner, pesticide, dish washing detergent, surface cleaner and more!

✨repurposing is more sustainable than recycling and replacing✨

And

✨Bio Enzymes make use of kitchen waste (fruit + veggie peels) to make excellent cleaners which also help to purify water✨

🍀The last idea of growing nutritious microgreens from groceries which have pests was actually borrowed from my mom

She does this with all whole dals and grains that are old or have pests 🌾

✨Using pested groceries for growing microgreens ensures that our farmers’ efforts and planet’s many resources don’t go to waste✨

Hope this video gave you some ideas for making more eco-friendly lifestyle choices everyday 💚

A quick recap of some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

I always prefer 🔻reducing, 🔄reusing, repurposing & 🪡repairing over ♻️recycling because recycling is a 💧resource-intensive process

But when there is an ⏫excess amount of waste that is ❌not practically usable to me, I choose to ♻️recycle instead of sending the waste to 🗻landfills

In 🗻landfills, house waste❗️pollutes air, water, soil and severely harms animal life 🦅🐕

Thinking 💡creatively about the paper I received as part of the TSS order packaging was a fun little exercise for me :3

And I’m actually quite excited to use it as gift wrap 🎁

I hope my weekly recaps help you to make more eco-conscious choices 🌏💚

Always remember, sustainability is 🙂‍↔️not about doing things perfectly, it’s only about doing your best 💚

A little peak into some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

🍈We had guests over at 🏠home who brought along some jackfruit (i.e. kathal)

🍈Nobody in my family had tried it before and somehow everyone disliked it.. I absolutely LOVED the fruit 😋

🍈 I loved the taste of the jackfruit seeds just as much as I did the fruit 👌

🍈Consuming the jackfruit seeds is such an easy (and tasty) zero waste hack to reduce food waste. I’m 💯% going to do it again!

💦Having more people at home also meant that more 💧filter water was used

💦Which, in turn, meant that more waste water was released🪣 from the RO filter

💦Even after mopping floors🧹quite some of the RO waste water was left so I used it as flushing water 🚽

🫙I love repurposing glass jars with lost or broken lids into 🍷glasses

🫙The production of glass is extremely ❗️resource-intensive & polluting

🫙Glass is also ❌not recyclable♻️ in many parts of India

🫙So reusing and repurposing glass as much as you can is important!

🌾Lastly, a very little amount of the groceries fell on the table while we were packing them

🌾This always happens and we usually collect it and leave it out for birds

🌾But the birds are not able to eat grains like dals so this time I decided to compost everything that was spilled instead

🌾I try to send as little as possible to landfills

⭐️Remember, sustainability 🙂‍↔️is not about being perfect, it’s about doing your best! 💚✨

A quick recap of some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

Through these 🌿weekly recaps,
I hope to show you that practicing sustainability is simply about being 💭mindful of what we 🛍️purchase and what we toss into the 🗑️bin

It’s about respecting the multitude of our 🌏planet’s resources and 🧑‍🌾🧑‍🏭human labour that go into making everything that we use and consume 🌿

And about realising that everything we toss into the bin 🚮 is most likely to end up in ❗️landfills

You 🙂‍↔️don’t need to be perfect at it, I am definitely not either. But I do the best that I can everyday, and that’s all that we all need to do too 💚✨

🙅‍♀️Let’s not wait for India’s water crisis to get worse before we decide to take action🙅

Every bit of water that we save amounts to large quantities at the end of each week, month and year 🗓️

Yaad hai, school mey bhi padha tha- 🌊“बूँद-बूँद से सागर भरता है” 🌊

❗️Green Washing❗️needs to be a thing of the past already 😫

🥤🥤Paper cups are one of our planet’s worst enemies because 🥤🥤:

😣 They require cutting down 🌳trees
😣 They are white because they are 🧪chemically bleached
😣 They are single-use. Large amounts of 🏭resources are used just for getting one use out of them
😣 Their plastic lining releases 25000+ microplastics in beverages ☕️
😣 Their plastic lining also pollutes our 🌏planet after the cups are disposed 🗑️

🛍️🛍️Woven bags have long been masquerading as cloth bags but 🛍️🛍️:

😣 They are woven out of polyester
😣 They release synthetic microfibres, which are a type of ❗️microplastic
😣 They pollute 🍃air, 💧water and 🌾land just like polythene bags do

👝👝 Brown paper bags with plastic windows 👝👝:
😣 Have a plastic lining inside of them
😣 Cannot be ❌♻️ recycled because they have a mix of: paper, soft clear plastic, hard zip-lock plastic
😣 Are actually worse than plastic packets as 100% plastic packets are at least recyclable

🏭Companies will keep making these products as long as we keep 🛍️buying them

So say 🙅‍♀️no🙅‍♂️ to them as much as you can!
