Ditch Plastic, Embrace Compost:

Sustainable Swaps for Plastic Free July and Beyond

Plastic Free July is a global movement encouraging people to rethink their reliance on single-use plastics. But going plastic-free doesn't have to mean sacrificing convenience. There are fantastic compostable alternatives that work just as well, and the good news is, they can often be composted right at home with your Oklin composter!

Conquer Convenience:

  • Baby Wipes: Ditch the plastic wipes and say hello to plant-based, compostable wipes made from bamboo or other sustainable materials. These gentle wipes are just as effective but won't clog your drains or pollute landfills.

  • Carrier Bags and Plastic Bags: Say goodbye to flimsy plastic bags! Opt for compostable or reusable bags for groceries and shopping. These are durable, easy to clean, and some can even be composted at the end of their life!

Goodbye Germs, Hello Green:

  • Sanitary Items: Traditionally, feminine hygiene products are loaded with plastic. Thankfully, there are now fantastic compostable options available. Look for pads and tampons made from organic cotton with biodegradable wrappers.

Dining Sustainably:

  • Cutlery and Containers: Ditch the disposable plastic forks, knives, and plates! Opt for reusable bamboo, stainless steel, or even compostable cutlery made from corn starch.

The Magic of Oklin Composters:

The beauty of these swaps is that many of these alternatives can be composted in your Oklin composter! Oklin's innovative technology utilises a unique microbial process to break down organic waste, including these compostable materials, in just 24 hours. This rapid composting process transforms your food scraps, yard trimmings, and even those sustainable swaps into nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden.

Oklin: Solutions for Homes and Businesses:

Oklin offers a range of composter sizes to suit your needs. The compact GG02 is perfect for home use, handling up to 4.5kg of food waste per day. For larger households or businesses, Oklin provides a variety of models with capacities reaching up to 1500kg daily.

Beyond Efficiency:

Oklin composters are designed with convenience in mind. They are odourless and feature built-in deodorisers, making them ideal for indoor use. Additionally, Oklin's technology eliminates the production of greywater, a byproduct of traditional composting methods.

Small Steps, Big Impact:

Plastic Free July is a great starting point, but these sustainable swaps can easily become everyday habits. By making these small changes and utilizing an Oklin composter, you're reducing your plastic footprint, creating nutrient-rich fertiliser, and contributing to a healthier planet, one compostable item at a time!
