5 Simple Swaps to Cut Plastic Waste

Switch to Natural Solid Soaps
One simple change can make a huge difference... swap out plastic bottles of hand wash and body wash for natural solid soap bars.
Our soaps are handmade, gentle on your skin, and completely free from palm oil and are plant-based — which is all better for you and the planet.

Try a Household Soap Block
Replace plastic-wrapped or plastic bottle cleaning products (which are also generally quite harsh on your skin) with solid household soap. O&T’s household soap is versatile for cleaning dishes, surfaces, stains, cars — honestly anything you put your mind to it can probably handle!

Support Your Local Refill Shop
Refill shops make it easy to reduce waste! Bring your own containers and stock up on essentials like cleaning supplies or dry goods. Plus, it’s a great way to support your local community while cutting down on single-use plastics.

Although we’re tucked away in a small corner of the world here on the west coast, we’re so fortunate to have an amazing refill shop right here in Campbeltown. Kintyre Weigh is a wonderful place for reducing waste and supporting local, and we’re proud that they stock our products too!

Ditch Plastic with Lotion Bars
Moisturising doesn’t have to come in a plastic bottle. Lotion bars are a game-changer for keeping your skin soft and hydrated. Our mini bars are plastic-free, easy to use, and perfect for travel too.

Choose Products with Plastic-Free Packaging
Look for products with recyclable, compostable, or reusable packaging whenever you can. At Oat & Thistle, we make it easy, our entire line and packaging is thoughtfully designed to reduce waste while looking lovely in your home.
