Biodegradable Household Products

While you cannot control whether or not the products you dispose of will end up being recycled and reused, you can purchase products made of non-synthetic ingredients that are biodegradable to limit the impact of this waste. Biodegradable products dissolve due to contact with bacteria and fungi. This means that if they come into contact with nature, they won’t cause any environmental harm, as they disappear through natural processes. These products might include:  recycled toilet paper, natural ingredient shampoo, natural deodorant, bamboo toothbrush and washcloths made from hemp or agave fibres
