In our home, the two largest rubbish bins are found \u2013 no surprise for guessing \u2013 in the bathroom and the kitchen. Today, when we talk about the bathroom, we generally refer to a fairly small space, and that is just perfect because a no-waste bathroom is also a minimalist bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

To take-on long-lasting ecological habits so as to reduce our ecological footprint consists of adopting new habits first and foremost. No matter how small, every effort counts and represents one step forward in the preservation of our environment. Each one of us can, in his\/her own way and in his\/her own time, adopt ecological alternatives of no-waste and therefore help to protect the planet, its health while at the same time-saving money.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three main stages need to be followed if one is to create a no-waste bathroom:<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/Sort and buy what you really need<\/span><\/h5>\n

First of all, sort through the contents of your bathroom and discard all those accumulated accessories that have been there for years and only keep the ones that are needed\/used and are durable.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an attempt at eliminating waste, our habits and choices regarding cosmetics, wellbeing and hygiene are essential. Therefore, durable materials such as wood, bamboo, glass, stainless steel, biodegradable tissues and products free of bisphenol A should be chosen, and of course, attempts should be made to be free of all plastics.<\/span><\/p>\n

2\/Find durable alternatives<\/span><\/h5>\n

A second stage, taking one step at a time, allows, in the long run, an effective reduction of accumulated waste: find alternatives to lead a simple and healthy life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A few suggestions for an ecological\/slow no-waste bathroom:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Change over to lasting and washable products<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0Be aware of packaging: try buying products in bulk or products with simple packaging or those that can be composted (biodegradable).<\/span><\/p>\n

– Use responsible products that are ethical, healthy and environmentally safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Use fewer products\u00a0(for example, use a product with many uses)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Select efficient products that contain a minimum of ingredients and in preference the ones that are made of natural ingredients and certified biological.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Replace one-use-only products.<\/span><\/p>\n

3\/Adopt a no-waste attitude in cosmetics<\/span><\/h5>\n

In order to take care of yourself with a no-waste outlook, buy solid hygiene products for your hair, body and face (soaps, shampoos for all types of hair: oily, dry, normal, toothpaste and deodorant).<\/span><\/p>\n

Two essential criteria for reducing waste: life-long reusable or biodegradable products. Therefore choose products that are 100% re-usable, 100% compostable, 100% without disposable packaging, 100% vegan\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Options zero waste (zero\/minimal waste)<\/span><\/h2>\n

# Soaps (hands, body & face)<\/span><\/h3>\n

=>Replace the shower gel with a solid soap made of natural products and bought in bulk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dermatological<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way as shampoos, shower gels are very often problematic for your health because of the ingredients used in making them.<\/span><\/p>\n
