One thing no one mentions about shopping during Plastic Free July is how many JARS you might end up with! Glass jars are a great alternative to plastic packaging, as glass and metal are more easily recyclable materials, but before you get rid of those jars, a better alternative is to reuse them. Of course everyone has their limits, but below we have a few easy (and trendy!) ways to give those jars a second life.

We are already five days into Plastic Free July. Many of you have picked a goal to reduce your plastic use and are exploring with plastic-free alternatives and buying in bulk. While maintaining a good plastic-free routine is not too difficult, setting yourself up for success can be more challenging. As you begin your plastic-reduction journey, we thought we would share just a few sneaky sources of plastic pollution to look out for.

Over here at Sankoty Sustainables, every day is Environment Day, where we try to provide information and products that help reduce waste in our environment, but next Monday is extra special. Each year on June 5th, the UN hosts World Environment Day, and this year’s theme happens to be plastic pollution and all the ways to fight it!
