Although sadly we see and read news about climate change and natural disasters every day, luckily beauty, fashion and the most sustainable lifestyle are on everyone's lips. If you wonder what you can do to reduce your environmental impact, your plastic consumption and your carbon dioxide emissions, read this interview with the owner of the eco Package Free store, OSJOSJOS, who through her store and her blog puts her granite to the cause starting with reusable packaging and a war on plastic that you will want to join immediately.

How did you come up with creating Package-Free, your sustainable product store to avoid single-use packaging?

I started in 2017 and it was my way of doing two things: first, making it easier for people like me to find products that help you lead a more sustainable lifestyle. Second, help the brands that make these products have more visibility and that more people could discover them in one place.

Where to start when you want to reduce plastics and packaging in your beauty routine?

You don't have to change everything suddenly. I recommend starting with one thing, one change, integrating it into your routine, seeing that it works well. For example, if you use a plastic toothbrush, go to a bamboo one, or if you use dental floss made of plastic, go to a natural one, change the shampoo bottle for one in a bar …

What is your favorite bar shampoo?

The one we have in Package Free (she explains in her blog, Trash is for Tossers), focuses on products that come in 100 percent recyclable or refillable containers that are made with organic ingredients and that do not test on animals). [For example] I like the Alima Pure brand of makeup.
