July’s Top 13: Plastic-Free July

July 12, 2022 | By Noise 13

As we head to the beach, swim in the ocean, and appreciate the great outdoors this summer it’s an opportune time to raise awareness about the increasing build-up of plastic waste that saturates our land and waters. Plastic Free July®, is a global movement that helps people be part of the solution to plastic pollution. The concept is simple: Participants are challenged to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics.

This July, join us in taking the Plastic Free Challenge: for the month eliminate one or more single-use plastic items. And you’ll see how easy it is to make that change a lasting one! Here are some of our favorite products and packaging that are specifically designed to replace plastic versions. 

Dava’s Picks: Founder and Chief Creative Officer 

  • Seedlip is one of the many non alcoholic spirits that are oh so hot right now and we love their special gift packaging made of mushrooms.

  • Everybody poops so why not help save the planet in the process. We love Who Gives a Crap both for its sustainable bamboo paper and the super cute paper wraps that they come in. No plastic here and pretty enough for a housewarming gift too. ($10 off if you want to try it out)

  • Keep your breath fresh and your teeth clean with the zero plastic and refill products from Bite. This brand also reduced the impact of shipping by taking the water out. Looks good on the bathroom shelf, too.
