I've been daydreaming about alternatives.
Wrapping bars of deodorant in rice paper. Making it like a bar of soap that you can hold.
I found a (mostly) bamboo toothbrush. It's ok.
The bamboo dental floss is pretty terrific.
Hoping to never buy fleece or spandex again, I'm still looking for hemp (or whatever) "athleisure" clothing. Like pullovers. (My lame attempts to learn to my make own clothing didn't get very far.)
- erikcw 6y agoI really like Smart Wool[0]. Really durable product and hi performing — seems to be much more environmentally friendly than synthetic textiles. [0] https://www.smartwool.com/ https://www.smartwool.com/
- awestroke 6y agoThey sell clothes made of wool and plastic mix. Nylon, elastane, polyester.
- intergalplan 6y agoPretty much anything wool that's form-fitting or otherwise meant for athletics or other activity is gonna have some plastic in it, for the stretchiness. Socks, undershirts, athletic shirts, all that kind of thing.

- specialist 6y agoExactly! Just like a push up pop. https://i.redd.it/lnwb4plu2kuy.jpg https://i.redd.it/lnwb4plu2kuy.jpg They have some other interesting products too. Thank!
- dr_orpheus 6y agoI see a lot of replacements for more stiff plastics that can be done another way such as the "push pop" deodorants mentioned in other comments. I'm curious what alternatives there are for squeeze bottle items (ketchup, shampoo, etc.) I know that there are alternatives (obviously ketchup comes in glass bottles) but how do you replicate the squeeze bottle with something other than plastic. Right now I have an image in my mind of a juice box full of shampoo, but I haven't actually seen any replacements like this around.
- specialist 6y agoMe too. I anticipate many products will return to powder form. eg I intend to try powder shampoos next time I have to restock.
- remir 6y agoI think we should also focus on reusable containers ideally made of glass or aluminium. You bring your containers to the grocery store and refill it with whatever you need.
