Waste-reducing products that are actually worth it

Post date: 2021-12-04 07:30:13

I get advertised a lot of household products (like soap tablets and detergent sheets) that purport to help you reduce household waste. Which, if any, are worthwhile?

Having transitioned from paper to cloth for napkins and cleaning rags, I'd like to find more small ways to reduce how much trash we throw out on a daily basis. However, I am also very lazy. I frequently get advertised products that purport to make it easy to reduce waste—like soap tablets that you add to water to make hand soap, rather than constantly throwing out plastic bottles (I don't like) or making soap yourself somehow (I know one can; I won't). Similar concepts: supposedly sustainable laundry sheets; washable cotton rounds; perhaps there is something like this for dishwashing pods?

Have you switched to one or more of these products that you can vouch for? Alternately, do you know for a fact that one or more of them is pure lip service and/or just garbage functionally? Please assume that I am lazy, bougie, and exhausted and don't tell me to do things like "not use the washing machine" or "stop drinking seltzer in cans" or "DIY literally anything."
