Have a cool 'plastic-free' product idea that's keeping you up at night?

Produce bag, I love the wax sheets but you can’t see what the contents are. How about a bread box?!

Wonder if there could be some means of identifying what’s under the beeswax wraps… maybe an erasable / rewriteable tag? I’d love a see-thru window, but that would defeat the purpose unless it was something other than plastic.

I would like to see more packed lunches plastic free. So many convenient foods are wrapped in plastic, like string cheese or single use yogurt cartons or plastic sandwich bags. I would like to see a reusable lunch bag, a cloth napkin, a sandwich tin, containers for snacks or fruit. My children’s school started a zero garbage goal for the student’s school lunches. This was the result of juice boxes making such a mess. They provided water or milk but the students had to use as little paper or plastic as possible. I think students would do this if encouraged. Maybe you could partner with the World Wildlife Fund to put a picture of an endangered animal on the lunch sack. They already have sandwich tins. One of WWF’s scientific research projects discovered that bacteria were coming on plastic from beaches on Ecuador and landing on the Galapagos Islands, making animals sick. So they developed a waste management program to clean the beaches in Ecuador. If students knew that plastic trash was responsible for making endangered species sick, they might get behind using less plastic. Starting with lunches would be a big help. I was a children’s bookseller for many years. As with any product for children, an adult has to buy it. So think about how you would market this. New year’s resolution for using less plastic, back to school ? Don’t expect schools to buy into your product but it would be cool to have a lesson plan about endangered species and how treating their environment with respect could help keep them alive.

I find that since I have osteoarthritis in my hands that I have a hard time opening up containers or bottles. I wish containers had an easy way to open without causing extra pain in already sore hands.

I love bringing my own containers for bulk sections but have unfortunately broke a bottle or two on the journey. Maybe a clear more durable container that can easily be filled at the bulk store but not plastic. I love my Mason jars but want more durability, especially for bulk bathroom items. Also mouthwash tabs? Or bathroom items that can be made like your dish soap.
