How to Reduce Plastic Waste at Home: Start with Your Laundry
Most Australians want to reduce plastic waste at home but don't know where to start. The kitchen gets all the attention. But your laundry is one of the biggest sources of single use plastic in the average Australian household.
The good news? It is one of the easiest places to make a change.
How Much Plastic Does Your Laundry Produce?
The average Australian family goes through 3 to 4 large detergent bottles every year. Each bottle is made from high density polyethylene plastic. Most end up in landfill because they are rarely cleaned properly before recycling.
That is before you count fabric softener, stain remover, and dryer sheets.
