Avoid excess packaging when choosing product brands.

Buy products you use frequently in bulk, but only buy the amount you need - larger sizes reduce the amount of packaging, but smaller sizes reduce leftover waste.

Buy concentrated products to reduce packaging. Examples are concentrated fruit juice, laundry detergent, fabric softener and window cleaner.

If your favorite brands have excessive packaging or are not as durable as they should be, contact the manufacturers and express your concern about reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
