Cómo reducir el plástico en casa poco a poco

How to gradually reduce plastic at home

Plastic is everywhere: in packaging, cleaning products, in the kitchen… and although we know it's a practical material, we're aware of the impact it has on the environment. That’s why we need to reduce plastic at home little by little, making small changes that, over time, make a real difference. 

Every small step we take at home contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable world for everyone. And although it might seem complicated at first, it’s actually much simpler than you think.


Why reduce plastic consumption at home

The use of single-use plastics is one of the main causes of environmental pollution. Bags, bottles, and packaging that we use for just a few minutes can take centuries to decompose. Reducing plastic at home not only helps the planet, it also improves your health and encourages a more conscious and sustainable lifestyle.

You’ll also notice the change in your wallet. Many reusable products may seem more expensive at first, but they quickly pay for themselves by avoiding constant repurchasing. Investing in durable products not only reduces waste, but also promotes more responsible and efficient consumption.

How to gradually reduce consumption

Changing habits doesn’t happen overnight, but you can start with simple steps:

  • Bring your own bags:
    Say goodbye to plastic grocery bags. Opt for cloth bags or reusable trolleys. Nowadays, there are plenty of stylish and durable options to choose from.

  • Buy in bulk:
    Instead of picking up packaged products, go for bulk items where you can bring your own containers or reusable bags. Fabric mesh bags for fruits and vegetables are an excellent choice.
    You also get to choose the exact amount you need, which helps prevent food waste and encourages more responsible consumption.

  • Say no to plastic wrap:
    There are sustainable alternatives like silicone lids or glass jars. They’re reusable and easy to clean.

  • Swap utensils:
    Replace plastic utensils with versions made of stainless steel or wood. Cutlery, straws, brushes… there are many durable options available.

  • Choose sustainable cleaning products:
    Nowadays, there are solid-format cleaning products that significantly reduce packaging waste. You can also buy in bulk and reuse the original container.

Water bottles for the whole family

One of the easiest and most effective changes is to stop buying disposable water bottles. Reusable bottles are not only more eco-friendly, they also help you stay hydrated throughout the day. They maintain the water’s temperature better, prevent unpleasant tastes, and are much safer than plastic ones.

Like our stainless steel and thermal bottles, with a triple-layer design that keeps water cold for 36 hours and hot for 18 hours.

This makes them an ideal choice for everyday use, travel, hiking, workouts… and they also help build the habit of drinking more water throughout the day.

Here are some ideas for the whole family:

  • Space Rockets: Ideal for kids thanks to its fun space-themed design and easy-to-use straw lid. Made of stainless steel, crafted from BPA-free materials, and resistant to impacts.
  • Mono Black: Perfect for those looking for an elegant and discreet option. Its finish and color make it great for work or university, and thanks to its high durability and leak-proof design, it's easy to carry in a backpack.
  • Mystical Lions: This vibrant design by Catalina Estrada is ideal for outdoor activities, the gym, or for anyone who loves cheerful, colorful styles.



Investing in a good reusable bottle not only helps the planet, but is also beneficial for your health and daily well-being. And best of all, you can find models that match your personal style!

Tumblers for everyday

And if you're someone who can't start the day without a good coffee, Tumblers will be your best allies. Our reusable thermal cups are designed to keep your drinks hot for 5 hours and cold for 10 hours.

Carrying your own Tumbler is a simple and effective way to reduce waste and enjoy your favorite drink anywhere—whether you're at work, in class, or on vacation.

  • Floral Madness: Cheerful, colorful, and perfect for those who need an extra boost of energy in the morning. Its leak-proof lid also prevents any spills.
  • Mykonos: The perfect balance between style and functionality. Its powder-coated finish makes it highly resistant, and its design makes it an ideal option both for home and for taking to work.
  • Pastel Sky: A design that conveys calm and freshness. Ideal for starting the day with energy and good vibes.

In addition to helping you reduce the use of disposable containers, our Tumblers are made with high-quality, BPA-free materials and built to last.

Reducing plastic at home isn’t difficult if you start with small but firm decisions. Switching bottles, eliminating unnecessary packaging, and choosing reusables is just the beginning. Every small gesture, when multiplied by millions of people, has a huge impact.

Remember: every time you choose a sustainable option, you’re helping build a better future for everyone.
We need to stay mindful and improve little by little each day.
