Shopping without plastic bags

When shopping for groceries, avoid disposable plastic bags and replace them with paper bags, reusable fruit and vegetable nets, or simply don't use any bags at all. This simple change helps to protect our oceans, reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect wildlife. Let go—go for loose fruit and vegetables!

With natural fabrics such as linen

Natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, and linen are breathable, soft, timeless, and, above all, free from harmful microplastics. Switching to natural materials is not necessarily a task that can be accomplished in a single day; begin with small steps and gradually add more sustainable clothing to your wardrobe. This is not only beneficial for our planet and your health, but also for your appearance!

Paper cups also create waste

Anyone who loves coffee understands that not much happens in our brains before we've had our first sip in the morning. So it seems unfair to suggest changing our habits during this dreary time of day. But even your choice of cup has a big impact on the billions of disposable cups that end up in landfills and pollute our environment. Your reusable cup should be a daily reminder that you are making a difference. Even at 7 a.m., before your first coffee.

Small changes from A to Z


We love the 3 Rs, and right now they are more important than ever—especially when it comes to plastic. Reducing the plastic products we buy is the first important step. Choose plastic-free clothing made from natural fibers instead of synthetic ones. Plastic lasts almost forever: use this to your advantage and reuse plastic products as often as possible. Finally, make sure your plastic waste is properly prepared for recycling and delivered to the correct collection point.

Is it possible to wash more sustainably?

It's easy to feel clean and fresh without harming the environment. Avoid disposable products in the bathroom and look for brands that offer soap, hair care, and shaving cream in solid form and in more environmentally friendly packaging. Why not try making your own care products from time to time? It's super easy and more fun than you think!

Reduce your pets' paw print

Show your pets that you really love them and remove plastic from their lives too. You can easily reduce your pets' paw print by switching to plastic-free toys and food. Choose toys made of wood, rope, hemp, or other more sustainable materials. Buy food in recyclable cans and dry food in bulk. Or treat your loved ones to something really special and visit your local butcher for meat, bones, and trimmings to make your own food.

Party? Yes! But without plastic

Celebrate your plastic-free lifestyle with a party: Use reusable decorations or borrow party supplies from friends and neighbors. Avoid glitter and balloons (both are overrated and easily end up in our waterways). Or, after a great party, offer your decorations to others. Create a "party box" for everyone to use and celebrate a permanent plastic-free party!
