Plastic-Free July is a global movement that is all about reducing single-use plastics, protecting our planet, and finding simple, sustainable swaps that fit into your everyday life. Whether you're a natural beauty lover, eco newbie, or seasoned zero-waste hero, this month is your perfect excuse to go greener.
At Delhicious, we're passionate about all things natural, ethical, and earth-friendly. Our plastic-free packaging and sustainable self-care range are just part of our mission to help you live beautifully - without costing the Earth.
But going plastic-free isn’t just about beauty (though we’ve definitely got that covered). It’s a lifestyle. One that feels empowering, joyful, and yes - even fun!
What Is Plastic-Free July?
Plastic-Free July began in 2011, launched by the Plastic Free Foundation in Australia. It's now a global movement that helps millions of people reduce plastic waste - at home, at work, and in their communities. The idea? Start small, stay consistent, and inspire change.
Every piece of plastic you don’t use this month is a step toward cleaner oceans, less landfill, and a healthier future for everyone.
Easy Ways to Live Plastic-Free
You don’t need to be perfect. Just mindful. Here are some fun and effective tips to reduce your plastic use across all areas of your life:
1. Choose Reusables Over Disposables
Ditch one-use items like plastic cutlery and straws, for reusable alternatives like bamboo cutlery and stainless-steel straws.
2. Bring Your Own Bags (Always!)
Keep tote bags, produce bags, and containers in your car or bag for those spontaneous shopping trips. Single-use plastic bags? No thanks!
3. Support Brands That Say No to Plastic
From food to face cream, look for companies that prioritise recyclable, refillable, or compostable packaging.
4. Go Bulk When You Can
Buy dry goods (like pasta, rice, and oats) from bulk stores using your own jars or containers. It’s often cheaper and completely package-free.
5. Upgrade Your Bathroom Routine
Say goodbye to plastic razors, toothbrushes, and bottled body wash. Hello to bamboo toothbrushes, refillable deodorants, and eco-friendly, recyclable packaged skincare (like ours!).
6. Shop Locally + Seasonally
Farmers markets and local shops usually use less plastic than big-box stores. Bonus: you’re supporting your community while cutting down on packaging waste.
7. Talk About It
Share your wins and struggles with friends and family. Inspire others to take one small step. Progress, not perfection, is the goal.
Why We Care (and You Should Too)
Plastic waste doesn’t just clutter beaches - it threatens marine life, seeps into our food chain, and takes up to 500 years to decompose. That lipstick tube or plastic toothbrush? It’s probably still out there.
At Delhicious, we believe sustainable beauty = real beauty. That’s why we use:
- Plastic-free or low-waste packaging
- Biodegradable materials
- Natural, cruelty-free ingredients
Because you deserve products that care for your skin and the planet.
