Overal duiken handige producten en creatieve trucjes op die ervoor zorgen dat je minder gebruik hoeft te maken van plastic verpakkingen, plastic tasjes, wegwerpbestek en zelfs aluminiumfolie. Deze Instagrammers zijn er héél goed en creatief in en geven je volop tips. Welkom in de wereld van low-waste!

Sinds een tijdje ben ik zelf wat meer bezig met het onderwerp low-waste. Plastic tasjes voor groenten en fruit gebruik ik al een hele tijd niet meer, ik breng netjes overal mijn eigen bamboe besteksetje en herbruikbare bekers mee naartoe en heb geen aluminiumfolie meer in huis. Dat is allemaal een kleine moeite, maar maakt samen een groot verschil. Ik vind het erg leuk om steeds nieuwe producten en trucjes te ontdekken die hieraan kunnen bijdragen. Ik heb zelfs een low-waste lade in mijn keuken met handige producten. Daar zal ik nog een losse blogpost over maken.

Een tijdje terug kwam ik op een zero-waste Instagram account terecht dat me erg inspireerde. Ik werd helemaal blij van de tips en aesthetically pleasing foto’s. Ik wilde meer! Dus heb ik verder gezocht en jullie op Instagram om tips gevraagd. Daar kwamen de volgende 10 inspirerende low-waste Instagrammers uit.

So many of you have been asking about natural cleaning, so this week we are going back to basics! From cleaning staples, to our favorite tools and recipes, we have you covered for all of your natural cleaning needs! . When it comes to cleaning, we like to keep things simple. Since we transitioned to an all natural cleaning regime, we have saved a ton of money, a ton of plastic, and we’re no longer breathing in harsh chemicals or releasing them into the waterways. It’s honestly been one of the best transitioned we have made along our journey. Today we are sharing with you our top favorite cleaning staples that we keep stocked at all times! . 1.Vinegar – We try to find organic white vinegar, but any will work! . 2.Baking soda -Try to find the largest box you can find! If you have access to a bulk store, be sure to check if they carry it there . 3.Dr.Bronners castile and Sal Suds – If you buy the gallon jug, it will last you a year! . 4.Distilled water or cooled boiled water – We boil water, cool it, and then store it in a reusable bottle (the one shown above is an old kombucha bottle) . 5.Herbs – You can grow and dry your own herbs or try a local farmers market . 6.Vodka- 1 bottle will last you well over a year. It’s used instead of vinegar on mineral surfaces such as granite or marble, so it may not even be necessary in your home . With these few ingredients, we are able to make our own products and clean out entire house top to bottom. It’s crazy how much plastic we save, and I no longer get headaches from breathing in the nasty fumes. As for the effectiveness, the home looks great, it smells better, we get sick less often, and I feel much better about knowing exactly what I’m using to clean. It’s the perfect win-win situation for you, and the earth! 💚🌎 . Stay tuned for our list of our favorite cleaning tools, and a bunch of our top cleaning recipes!

We love making our own cleaners at home especially when you can put your food scraps or herbs from the garden to good use. ⁠ ⁠ If youa ren't already following the amazing @thesimplegourmetmamma be sure to go give her a follow!⁠ ⁠ Repost @thesimplegourmetmamma⁠ • • •⁠ ⁠ HOMEMADE GREEN CLEANERS ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ The advertising industry would have you believe that you need a specific product for each cleaning job in your home. I’m here to tell you as someone who has done an over haul on my entire cleaning products – that it’s not true. ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ It’s possible to make all the cleaners you need yourself at home, and it doesn’t take a lot of time. All the ingredients of homemade cleaners will cost you a fraction of what you pay for supermarket cleaners, and they will last you so much longer. ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Take lemon essential oil for example it cost $13.50 a bottle and has 250 drops. That’s 0.05cents a drop 🍋🍋 ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ I like to use a combination of herbs from my garden and essential oils to create cleaning products around my home. The satisfaction of cleaning with something you personally have made is incredible. ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ I’ve been experimenting and you can’t really go wrong. There is an endless array of simple, effective recipes to clean your house with and the smells are so good 👃🍋🍊🌿⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ My go to multi-purpose at the moment is for a 250ml spray bottle: ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ 🍃1/4 vinegar ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ 🍃10-20 drops of essential oil – I’m loving at the moment – lemongrass, lemon, lavender & tea tree ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ 🍃Topped with water ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ So very easy and simple. ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Sometimes I like to add 1 tablespoon of the on guard liquid concentrate as well. ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Let’s get you started on your green home journey. Would love to know some of your hesitations around the change, let’s work through them together ♥️⁣⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #lowwasteliving #infusedvinegar #diyrecipes #diycleaning #naturalcleaning #lowtox #lowwaste #zerowasteliving #consciousliving #simpleliving #slowliving #diy #greencleaning #zerowaste #zerowastehome #sustainableliving #lowtoxliving #lowtoxlife #lowwastehome #lowimpact #sustainable #reducewhatyouproduce #wastefreeplanet #ourplanetourhome #preventfoodwaste #wastefree #diycleaner

7. Trash is for tossers

View this post on Instagram

One of my favorite ways to reduce waste and impulse food purchases is to have bulk staples at home! 😊 I always have rice, beans, pasta, granola, dried fruit, and some other quick-cook and snackable items. I usually bring my own bags when I go shopping, but a second option is to use paper bags like the one pictured here. I fill it up with bulk food, check out, and use the bag at home to fill with compost and then I know it will go back to nature. It's not the most ideal solution, but it definitely beats a plastic bag! 👍 My favorite item to get in bulk is chocolate covered peanut butter candy, although it's kind of hard to find (which is okay otherwise I'd eat it too often!) 🍫 What is your favorite item to buy in bulk? Let me know!

#LETSLIVECLEAN!⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💚 And by clean, I mean #plasticfree (whenever we can). @ecover_be asked me what my #PlasticCommitment was during the month May – it’s #meiplasticvrij, which means #plasticfreemay. @mei.plasticvrij⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧼 Well, these are a couple of examples of how I try to avoid plastic! I choose bamboo and reusable options when possible. Bamboo cutlery, a bamboo toothbrush, a shampoo bar, a refillable cover stick in a bamboo tube, a reusable cup, etc. The list goes on! Btw: notice how the knife disappeared? Thanks iPhone!⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 Tell @ecover_be what you’ve committed to avoiding this month (and hopefully forever). If you do, you can fill up your own bottle of detergent in Ghent or Antwerp this Saturday, 18/05. The place to be: Wasbar! Such a cool initiative. I hope you’ll join too! #laurafromthedesert⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👚 PS: wearing mom’s old shirt & I love it! #secondhand and #vintage for the win!⠀ She also gets the photo credits @miekeloveslucydog!

10. Impact For Good

View this post on Instagram

Little kitchen details make me happy :’) – I really do find it easy to live sustainably in some aspects because it’s so aesthetically pleasing. My spices I buy in bulk in these glass jars and my cactus is in an old candle holder. I care a lot about home decor which has made eliminating plastic in my home much easier. Wood, glass, and bamboo look sooooo much prettier than plastic anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ – What GETS me is fast food. I literally love fast food. I love French fries and Chick Fil A sauce and large cokes and sonic happy hour. IM FROM THE SOUTH OKAY. I’ve eliminated a lot of my bad habits, but some of them still exist! I’m a bad minimalist, a bad zero waster, a bad plant based eater, and bad at all other aspects of sustainability I’m trying to tackle right now. BUT I know my individual decisions make an impact, so I keep going even though I’m bad at it anyway. 👊🏼

  6. Ik vind zulke foto’s ook echt zooo aesthetically pleasing! ♥ Ik neem zelf ook overal zo veel mogelijk herbruikbare spullen mee naartoe (groente-, fruit- en broodzakjes, m’n Dopper, KeepCup …), maar soms vind ik het zo omslachtig – met name als ik met een kleine tas ergens naartoe wil of na m’n werk nog naar een concert of iets dergelijks ga. Sta ik dan met m’n rugzak.

    In de badkamer ben ik er ook erg mee bezig, al kan het natuurlijk altijd beter. Wel fijn dat bepaalde aanpassingen zo simpel zijn, maar dat ze een groot verschil kunnen maken. Alle beetjes helpen. 🙂
