Small changes can seem just that in the face of an issue like environmental protection, but every change, even the tiny ones, can make a big difference in the long run. So, if you’re ready to be polite to our planet, join us as we explore these amazing eco-friendly products which will help minimise your environmental footprint. And remember, going green can not only be affordable, but also delightfully stylish.
Home and Living
Featured products: Big W Openook 800ml Container $7, Big W Wooden Cutlery Set 30 Pack $12, Coles Cove By Earth Choice Surface Cleaner $10, Coles Green Choice Biodegradable Wipes $8, Cotton On Foundation Body Recycled Tote Bag $5, Kmart Silicone Straws 4 Pack $3, Kmart Stainless Steel Reusable Tumbler $9, Woolworths Armada Recycle Garbage Bag 20 Pack $3.90, Woolworths Think Eco Beeswax Food Wraps $25.
Bin liners
Why not swap out your bin liners for certified compostable liners, or even better, try out the Armada recycle garbage bag from Woolworths. They're made from 80% discarded post-consumer plastic waste, which has been cleaned and reprocessed.
Produce bags
Opt for reusable shopping bags and be sure to start bringing your own produce bags from home. Zero-waste grocery shopping is the way to go! Any reusable bag will do the trick but we love the Foundation tote bags from Cotton On. The best part? All proceeds support the Cotton On Foundation’s global education and wellbeing projects.
Fun fact: we use five trillion plastic bags per year. That’s 160,000 a second!
Eco cleaning products
Conscious and certified cleaning products are key to adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Think laundry detergent, hand soap, and even surface cleaner. Sustainable products are more accessible than ever with brands like Coles and Woolworths all stocking a great variety of eco-friendly cleaning products to choose from. And as a bonus, they make cleaning way safer for our children and pets!
Reusable cups and straws
If you’re feeling guilty about using plastic single-use coffee cups and straws, your switch to reusable drinkware is well overdue.
Helpful tip: when buying metal straws, always purchase a straw cleaner to ensure your straws remain sparkling clean inside and out! Kmart stocks a straw set for only three dollars.
Storage
Reusable containers mean no disposables and no disposables mean less waste – win, win! It is both environmentally friendly and cost-efficient, so it’s well and truly time to get that pantry organised with help from Big W and their huge array of glass containers.
Personal Care
Featured products: Big W EcoTools Bio Blender $15.50, Big W Remington Power Series Foil Shaver $39, Cotton On Rocc Natural Toothpaste $10, Hairhouse Maria Nila Eco Therapy Revive Shampoo $52, Priceline Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads 3 Pack $16.99, Priceline MooGoo Creamy Hydrating Face Cleanser $13.90, Priceline Nude By Nature Highlight Palette $39.95, Woolworths Colgate Bamboo Charcoal Biodegradable Toothbrush $10, Woolworths Toms Organic Tampons 16 Pack $5.
Skincare
By switching to eco-friendly skincare and cosmetics, you can avoid many of the toxic elements used in popular brands. If you’re on the hunt for a new body wash, face wash, or even want some new makeup, be sure to check if the brand is sustainably certified. Help keep the environment (and your skin) clean and healthy! Some of our fave eco-friendly skincare products include the MOOGOO and Nude By Nature range from Priceline. Sustainable, stylish, and yes, even a little bit zen.
Personal hygiene products
Treat yourself and the earth by swapping to more sustainable products! When shopping for personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, pads, and shampoo you’ll want to opt for refillable, biodegradable, and organic (where possible) options. We are loving the Maria Nila eco therapy revive shampoo from Hairhouse –100% vegan and certified organic shampoo.
Utensils and tools
Reusable tools and utensils are quintessential to living a more sustainable life. Minimise waste by purchasing an electric razor rather than disposables or using face washers instead of single-use cotton pads. When possible be sure to purchase eco-friendly options such as the Bioblender from Big W.
Fun fact: billions of razors are thrown away globally each year and most end up in landfill. By purchasing a reusable razor you’ll be doing the planet a big favour (not to mention your legs)!
