Plastic‑Free Bathroom Guide

Simple, eco-friendly essentials to skip single-use plastic in your bathroom.

Bathrooms are one of the most wasteful rooms in the house, filled with single-use plastics, synthetic materials, and disposable packaging. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

At Earthshopp, we believe the journey to sustainability starts at home. With a few thoughtful swaps, your bathroom can become a space of calm, care, and conscious living.

Whether you're just starting or ready to level up, here's how to transform your routine, plastic-free.

Why Go Plastic-Free in the Bathroom?

50% of bathroom waste is plastic packaging, most of it non-recyclable.
Shampoo bottles, toothbrushes, and razors can take hundreds of years to break down.
Microplastics from common products can end up in waterways and oceans.

A plastic-free bathroom is better for your health, your wallet, and the planet.

Why This Matters

The average person uses dozens of plastic items in their bathroom every single day, from shampoo bottles to toothbrushes. Most of that plastic ends up in landfills or our oceans, where it can take hundreds of years to break down.

By making conscious swaps in your bathroom, you’re not just cutting down on waste, you’re creating a ripple effect of mindful consumption. These small changes add up, showing that sustainability isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being intentional.

Every plastic-free product you choose is a step toward cleaner oceans, less landfill waste, and a healthier home.

What You Can Do

Replace one plastic item in your bathroom with a reusable or compostable option.
Choose soap bars or refillable products instead of bottled body wash or shampoo.
Switch to a bamboo toothbrush when your current one wears out.
Talk to your kids or housemates about making sustainable swaps together.
Support brands that focus on low-waste packaging and natural ingredients.

Small steps in one room of your home can lead to big change. Whether you start with a simple bar soap or swap your plastic toothbrush, Earthshopp is here to help you build a bathroom that’s better for the planet, and still feels good to use every day.
