You might be shocked to learn that on average Australians use 130 kg of plastic per person each year. And between 2017 and 2018, a total of 3.4 million tonnes of plastics were consumed in Australia alone. Only 19% of plastics used in Australia ends up recycled, with the majority ending up in landfill or littered in natural environments. Plastics in landfill emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, so reducing plastic use is crucial for lowering emissions and protecting the environment.
Many refer to current plastic pollution levels as a plastic crisis. For example, plastic bags have an average lifespan of only 12 minutes but can take up to 500 years to degrade, making them a significant environmental concern. Australians consume 910 million plastic cups every year, many of which are not recyclable and contribute to significant waste. In addition, it is estimated that 3 million coffee pods end up in landfill every day in Australia, highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable coffee consumption practices.
Over 8 million tons of plastic enter oceans annually, where marine animals often mistake it for food or become entangled.
Plastic production relies heavily on non-renewable fossil fuels and consumes vast amounts of energy. Transitioning to plastic-free lifestyle significantly reduces environmental pollution and health risks by eliminating non-biodegradable waste and harmful chemical leaching.
Traditional plastics can contain harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which can leach into food and water, posing health risks to humans and ecosystems.
While there are many big, system level changes that are needed to solve this crisis, cutting down plastics in our own lives is one way we can help and feel better about the situation. Switching to plastic-free, reusable products is one of the simplest ways to cut out single use plastic items from our lives.
Many single-use plastic products, such as cutlery and plates, are now banned in various Australian states, promoting the use of reusable or compostable alternatives.
If you’re a coffee, chai latte or tea drinker then you’ve no doubt used your fair share of single-use coffee cups in your time. Sometimes, we can’t help it. But bringing a reusable coffee cup with you on the go is a great way to avoid using a single-use one. We also recommend keeping a reusable water bottle in your bag, as bottled water is not only expensive but a big contributor to plastic waste. For drinks on the go, consider using:
as sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic drinkware.

In the kitchen, switching to:

When it comes to the end of the day, we use a lot of plastic: from plastic toothbrushes to plastic-packaged toothpaste. One of the easier swaps to make for dental hygiene is a plastic-free toothpaste like the ohGiGi tooth powders.
