Why should you switch to plastic-free deodorant?
There are several reasons to consider, especially when considering plastic’s impact. Many brands have been offering plastic-free deodorant for years. However, you might have been hesitant to purchase it because it came in a tube or tub, requiring you to apply the product with your hands. But here’s the thing-it’s not as inconvenient as it seems! In fact, it’s just as easy to use as your regular deodorant, if not more so. Let’s face it—it’s different! It’s totally okay not to be super intrigued at first, especially since, as consumers, we are so used to seeing deodorant packaged in a specific way.
Here are a few reasons that may motivate you to make the swap:
- Packaging, aka paper, is a renewable resource. Plastic on the other-hand is not.
- It is biodegradable and won’t fall into the song and dance of this plastic, which is easy to recycle.
- And it can be easily recycled!
- By switching to plastic-free deodorant, you’re not just making a personal choice but contributing to a global effort to reduce plastic waste. Every time you choose a plastic-free option, you’re helping to lower the demand for plastic packaging. Yes, little old you, no matter how small, can make a difference.
- Most of the time, brands willing to make the swap to sustainable packaging care more about what they have put in their products.
In addition, if it is made of paper, I am concerned about the effect this resource has on our forests. You can look for products that have been certified by FSC. The Forest Stewardship Council certifies over 200 million hectares of forest around the globe, working hard to verify the sourcing of wood, guided by 10 principles for responsible forest management.
