Make these TikTok recommended zero waste swaps for a greener home

If you’re looking for ways to live more sustainably in 2022, it’s time to start swapping out single use plastic products for zero waste alternatives and using what you already have. Here’s what eco-friendly TikTok creators recommend.

1. Stop buying toothpaste.

Toothpaste tubes are nearly impossible to recycle and they have a big negative impact on the environment. Instead of buying traditional toothpaste, buy solid tablet toothpaste like @impactforgood_.

@impactforgood_ Toothpaste that’s better for the planet #sustainableliving #zerowaste #zerowasteswaps #lowwaste #fyp ♬ original sound - Jessica Clifton

2. Use common food scraps instead of throwing them out.

Instead of throwing away orange peels, use your scraps to make a delicious candy. TikTok creator @plantyou shows you a simple recipe for candied orange peels that taste like gummy worms.

@plantyou Stop throwing out your orange peels #candy #recipe #vegancandy #lowwaste #Zerowaste ♬ Dancing in the Moonlight - Jubel

3. Stop using plastic wrap.

TikTok creator @sabrina.sustainable.life has eliminated plastic wrap from her kitchen by investing in reusable beeswax wraps. They come in cute colors and patterns and keep your food fresh.

@sabrina.sustainable.life I ❤️ this beeswax wrap i got from naturallybee.com 🐝 #sustainable #ecofriendly #beeswax #zerowaste ♬ Up Beat (Married Life) - Kenyi
