Ive honestly considered the same thing. Wouldnt it be nice to make a few tailored "masters" and then just make your own shirts off those. Perfect fit everytime time. It's just the senseless waste of the modern world. Like dry laundry soap, why cant i just bring my glass jar to the grocery store, tar it, refill from a bulk bin. Why do we have to make millions of plastic containers, so pointless. Ive only been to one grocery store in my life where this was possible. Im sick of senseless plastic everywhere. My personal theory is our biggest sources of plastic ingestion is: clothing made of plastic slowly wearing away and inhaling treadwear from car tires on the road.

That’s just called going to a tailor. But honestly, if you just want coton clothes, that’s not hard to find. It’s just more expensive.

100% agreed, and I've had the exact thought about soap (shampoo, in my case)! I love stores with 'bulk' sections, but they're usually just a small selection of dry cereals, beans, and nuts. Now, to work properly with your own jars, I think you'd want a shopkeeper doing the filling, so he could check the tare. A return to the general store of old, to some extent.

  It's been on my to-do list the past few months to find a bulk shampoo, body wash vendor of some kind. I got a body wash that has a bottle design that is just perfect for my shower. I want to get 2 more for shampoo and then just refill them endlessly with the bulk product. So far in my cursory searches I have found nothing , but I'd like to think eventually I'll find some chemicals company that makes the raw products for the value brands and buy from them.

    Shampoo is harder, but making your own soap is easy and satisfying and it works better than store-bought.

I'd think that most ingested plastic comes from food packaging.

  I've only been to bulk barn on very rare occasions for certain candies that are hard to find elsewhere, but as far as I'm aware they only do food stuffs right? I don't think they sell detergents or cleaning materials? They're also more expensive that regular right? Hmm I suppose I'd be willing to pay for that tho.
