Although a small part, but plastic waste generated from the
DIY products are the most efficient way to minimize waste from your routine, but it may not be a possible option for everyone due to lack of time and knowledge.

I was researching about it too, and stumbled upon this post, very helpful post, I’m bookmarking it for future reference.
I also discovered that plum and dot and key also take back their containers. They have a form mentioned on their website, we have to just fill it and send back the products.
A lot of brands are now taking back their containers so it is a wonderful initiative. Let’s hope more brands join the bandwagon.
Thank you for the excellent compilation.
You are welcome π

Thanks for providing such a great information guys.
It was very hard to find this kinda brand in India.. easily findable in foreign countries..
Actually..
I have done research on plastic pollution
It’s took me 5-6 months to complete research on this..but still learnings more.
(Research done by studying reports from various governmental boards and non-profit organizations and working with medical institutes)
And finding a solution and alternative of plastics which we use in our daily life..
So personally I have reduced 80% plastic in daily life or home lifeπ
The only 20% was left that’s cosmetics skin care and bathroom essentials..
So now I find this in India.. thanks again.
So after this I’m guiding people by delivering lecture on plastic pollution..
Till now individually I have already delivered many lecture or session on it at many places..
Eg.. societies, school, or Pvt companies without help or anyone..
I charge 1 or 2 cup of coffee or chaai as my lecture or session fee..
