[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you trying to avoid plastic (for health reasons) or avoid disposable packaging (for environmental reasons)? I ask because we use and reuse plastic in my house. Glass is a little better than plastic but still really hard to recycle so I avoid disposable glass products like beer bottles. We use hard plastic containers in lunch boxes and for food storage. I will buy the biggest bag/box of a food and parcel it out into containers. We buy the big 5 dozen egg pack from Costco and repackage them into reused egg cartons. I buy powdered cleaners whenever I can. When buying liquid soap or hand sanitizer I get large containers or sometimes in bulk (like from Trace) and put it into my reused plastic bottles. DH uses a soda stream (reusable plastic bottle) instead of buying soda. We have a stash of thrift store silverware and plates for camping / kid gatherings. I use fabric shelf liner in the cupboards and fridge. [/quote]
