20 Reusable Products That Will Help You Reduce Waste at Home

Over the course of a year, people run through an alarming amount of paper and plastic, from the paper towels they use to the produce bags that they take their kale and broccoli home in. But there are things you can buy to actually help you cut down on your consumption over time, and replace many of your single-use papers and plastics (which will likely end up in a landfill). These eco-friendly alternatives may require a little bit more washing and foresight (how many times have you forgotten to bring your own tote bag to the grocery store?), but will at least help you reduce the amount of cling-wrap, plastic bags, and paper products that you burn through every week. For Earth Week, we’ve assembled some helpful reusable products to add to your laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—from wool dryer balls to cleaning cloths.
