[Updated 11/15/2019] Led by the Plastic Free Foundation, Plastic Free July is a campaign launched in 2011 to encourage people to refuse single use plastics and limit their plastic waste.
Started by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz and members of her local government in Western Australia, the annual challenge is now undertaken by millions of people around the globe each year.
The result is more and more people wanting to reduce plastic waste, seek out plastic alternatives, and move towards plastic free living.
The question is, how do we use less plastic when practically everything we buy seems to be made from plastic or comes with plastic packaging?
How much difference can we as individuals make when there’s already a massive patch of plastic pollution in the ocean twice the size of the state of Texas?
The truth is, most of us can’t directly do much about the impact plastic in the sea has on the marine environment. What we can do is look for alternatives to plastic products and plastic packaging, use items made from recycled plastic, and try to avoid plastic whenever we can.
To that end, we sought out an array of plastic free products, from BPA free water bottles and food containers to reusable straws and eco friendly bags. For even more options, check out our personally curated Plastic Free Shop on Amazon!

ALTERNATIVES TO PLASTIC BAGS
Lotsa Style’s Plastic-Free Products
Check Price on Amazon
If you want to reduce your reliance on single-use plastic, but still keep food fresh, check out the Lotsa Style line. Their broad range of plastic-free items not only helps reduce plastic use, but they also reduce waste in general since they’re all reusable.
We tried out their Reusable Beeswax Food Wrap, a brilliant alternative to cling wrap. Made from organic cotton and beeswax, the wrap is washable and works well for all kinds of foods.
We also loved their Reusable Silicone Food Bag, a sustainable version of the classic sandwich bag. These high-quality bags lock airtight, keeping food fresh and preventing leaks. It’s safe for microwaves and freezers, doesn’t hold odors, and (best of all) can be washed in the dishwasher.
But our favorite Lotsa Style products are their Wheat Straw Plates. They’re a green alternative to plastic plates, which we use for our family picnics at Lake Allatoona. They’re BPA free, stain-resistant, and safe for dishwashers.

ECO Lunchbox’s 3-in-1 Splash Box
Check Price on Amazon
As a divorced single dad for many years before Mary moved in, I always found packing lunches a pain. Lids got lost, plastic wrap was wasteful (not to mention bad for the environment), and getting it all into my daughter’s lunchbox was difficult.
ECO Lunchbox’s 3-in-1 Splash Box makes making lunch easy and eco-friendly. The 3-piece set is made from durable stainless steel, with leak-proof silicone lids. It’s both dishwasher- and oven-safe, which makes heating and cleaning up afterwards a breeze.
But the feature we like the most is how the 3 pieces (which hold a total of four cups of food) nest together. Once you’re done eating, the mini snack container fits inside the top container, with a silicone strap to hold it all together.
Lotus Trolley Bags
Check Price on Amazon
Arguably the item on this list we use the most frequently, the Lotus Trolley Bag is an awesome replacement for the mess of random tote bags we used to use when we went grocery shopping. We actually got compliments and questions the first time we used it!
The Lotus Trolley Bag is actually four separate bags, all different sizes and easily connected with strong velcro. While shopping, you simply hang them on the cart handle using the velcro strap.
Once you’re done, the bags go inside the shopping cart, with long wooden dowels at the top to keep them in place. There’s one cooler bag, and one bag with dedicated pockets for holding wine bottles and eggs. You can also order reusable produce bags separately.
Our only initial complaint was that the dowels weren’t quite wide enough for the carts at wholesale warehouses, where we tend to do a lot of our shopping.
Fortunately, Lotus Trolley Bags now offers a Large Club Cart version specifically sized for Costco, Sams, BJ Wholesale, etc. They make a great alternative to plastic bags for groceries!
EQPD LastBag
In an effort to eliminate single-use plastic bags, Eqpd (pronounced “equipped”) took it upon themselves to create the ultimate solution.
The company is based in rural Twisp, Washington, in the Cascade mountains. Founded by formally trained industrial designer Jonathan Baker, the 8-member team focuses on durable construction and sustainability.
Their LastBag is intended to be precisely that– the last tote-style bag you’ll ever need for grocery shopping, picnics, day trips to the beach, etc.
This virtually indestructible waterproof bag is made from the same rugged materials used in whitewater rafts, parachutes, and military backpacks.
They come in 17” or 21” sizes, a range of colors, and have adjustable shoulder straps and reinforced snapping handles for easy carrying. Best of all, each LastBag is guaranteed for life. Use the promo code “GREENGLOBAL” at Eqpd to get 20% off LastBags thru 12/1/19

BPA FREE WATER BOTTLES
BINDLE BOTTLE
Check Price on Amazon
Wondering how to use less plastic? Weaning yourself off the plastic bottle is arguably the perfect place to start, given the major role they play in the global plastic pollution problem.
There are tons of BPA free water bottles on the market, but the Bindle Bottle is noteworthy for its innovative twist.
Made from stainless steel, the bottle has a hidden waterproof, scent-proof storage compartment. It measures 3.2″ H x 2.75″ W, so it’s large enough to hold your cash, credit card, ID, and more.
The new 20 oz Slim version is small enough to fit in cupholders or on a bike rack, with dual-walled, vacuum-insulated construction to ensure your drink stays cold (or hot) for hours.
Takeya Actives Insulated Water Bottle
Check Price on Amazon
Insulated water bottles make great gifts for travelers because it’s something you can use every morning (for portable coffee or tea) and all day long (for water and other beverages).
These stainless steel water bottles from Takeya are great for keeping cold liquids cold (up to 24 hours) or hot liquids hot (up to 12 hours). They’re available in either 24 oz or 40 oz sizes, and in a variety of colors.
Thanks to their insulated Spout Lid, the bottles allow for easy and controlled drinking, even with just one hand. The BPA-free water bottles are easy to clean and safe to use, with no metallic aftertaste.
The wide mouth allows ice to fit in, and the double powder coated exterior protects your hands from extreme hot and cold conditions. The removable silicone bumper also ensures fewer dents and bumps on the bottle’s exterior. We use ours literally every single day!
LifeStraw Go
Check Price on Amazon
As a teen I went hiking in Georgia’s Cloudland Canyon, ran out of drinking water, and filled my canteen from the crystal-clear stream.
The dysentery that resulted remains one of my worst travel memories. Now I know better, and thanks to these microbiological water bottles I’ll never drink dirty water again.
The Lifestraw Go has a 2-stage filtration process that removes 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and parasites from up to 264 gallons before needing a new filter.

ZeroWater’s 12-cup Water Pitcher
Check Price on Amazon
If you have ever been frustrated by spilling water everywhere after pouring from a water filter device, ZeroWater’s 12-cup water filter jug has features to prevent any messes.
ZeroWater solved the problem by creating a sealed lid and reservoir system which allows you to pour filtered water into your water bottle while water waiting to be filtered remains in the reservoir instead of all over the counter.
Besides this great feature, ZeroWater’s filtration system itself is amazing. If you were to pour red wine through the top, pure water would come out! With a system powerful enough to turn wine into water, it removes dangerous substances from water like lead, asbestos, salts, mercury, runoff, fluoride, and other chemicals.
If you drink from plastic water bottles, there is a risk of plastic flavoring and contamination by the bottle. The ZeroWater 12-cup filtration system not only saves money but prevents tainted water quality and flavor while also avoiding more pollution.
Using the ZeroWater 12-cup filtration system instead ensures clean and safe hydration and stores enough water for everyone in the family.
REUSABLE STRAWS
Final Straw (Shark Butt Gray & Coral Cases)
FinalStraw has found an awesome answer to the world’s plastic straw problem, which has proven increasingly dangerous for sea turtles and other marine life.
They’ve created a foldable, reusable metal straw in order to help reduce the need for disposable plastic straws.
These straws fit into their own special carrying case, which holds a straw cleaner and attaches to a keychain. They fold up to fit into the case and expand to the size of a normal straw when in use.
The straw is made of stainless steel, and the mouthpiece tubing at each end is made from medical-grade TPE. They’re available in silver or rainbow, and the cases come in four colors (we have the Shark-butt Grey and Healthy Coral cases).

The T-shirts made from the REPREVE fabric are cotton tees, and so they don’t have the usual moisture-wicking properties of other American Backcountry products. However, they still feature the epic graphic designs.
American Backcountry prides itself in celebrating America’s public lands, and these shirts help keep those public lands clean as well.
They’re also quite stylish, with the Bearly design reminding us of an adorable Black Bear family we recently photographed in Alaska!

The soles of the shoes are made from vegan, recyclable, carbon-free rubber and TPU, with safe adhesives that are created with low environmental impact. The shoe insoles are made from bio-based castor oil and recycled materials while the uppers are knitted from recycled plastic water bottles.
These shoes also cut down on waste since they can be washed. Instead of tossing out shoes due to grime or stains, the Rothys flats shoes and insoles can be popped into the washing machine for easy care and clean up. They will be sure to remain as red as day one since you won’t have to hand scrub the entire shoe every time you want them clean.
The Rothys flat in Chili Red is an easy choice for the fashionista and environmentalist. Once you wear them out, be prepared to answer a lot questions about where you got them!

There are five ocean-inspired shapes, but we’re especially loving the Baffin for men and the Victoria for women.
The masculine, textured Baffin is named after the cold current that brings in the old, discarded fishing nets they used in creating these manly sunglasses. The curvier, sleeker Victoria gets its name from the port city in British Colombia.

PRODUCTS WITH PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING
Unwrapped Life Shampoo & Conditioner bar
When you think about it, it’s incredible how much plastic there is in packaging the everyday items we all need. Plastic wrap, plastic bags, and plastic bottles have become so ubiquitous, it’s easy to forget how utterly unnecessary they are.
As their name implies, Unwrapped Life is a company dedicated to eliminating this unnecessary waste, offering hair care, toiletries, and household products free from plastic packaging.
The zero waste brand offers 7 different dry Shampoo & Conditioner Travel Sets, with names like the Balancer, the Detoxifier, and The Hydrator. Each bar is vegan (made with 100% essential oil), color-safe, and packaged in reusable tins in a compostable paper box.
The only downside of Unwrapped Life’s eco friendly products is that they’re a bit on the expensive side. The travel sets run $40 Canadian, which is about $30 US.
However they should last around 50 to 75 washes, depending on hair length, which is the equivalent of two to three 16-ounce bottles of liquid shampoo and conditioner.
