Reuse: The best tips for changing consumption habits

There's still a long way to go in terms of generating less waste. I suggest you try going a week or thirty days without buying plastic. After that, you can start looking for other alternatives to get closer to that zero-waste goal.

1. Say goodbye to plastic bottles

If you can, install a reverse osmosis water filtration system at home. This way you'll avoid using plastic water bottles and the tedious task of carrying them home. 13% of Spanish households already have a water filtration system.

2. Use reusable bags

When you go to the supermarket, bring your own bags to carry your groceries. Many supermarkets already have reusable cloth bags available for buying fruits and vegetables, which you can buy and reuse as needed.

3. Use a thermos bottle instead of disposable cups.

If you're one of those people who orders coffee at the bar, try bringing your own thermos or cup and ask them to refill it there.

4. Organic food carrier

Did you know that many Spanish schools now require the use of reusable lunch containers like those from Roll Eat to reduce the consumption of aluminum foil? If you use it frequently, it's time to go green and buy a reusable lunch container.
