Your morning routine is more powerful than you think. While most of us don’t notice it, our start to the day is often filled with plastic—from toothpaste tubes and shampoo bottles to disposable toothbrushes. But here’s the good news: swapping out just a few key items can cut your plastic waste dramatically—without adding stress to your schedule.
At Canary, we’re all about making eco-living effortless and beautiful. Let’s start where it counts: the beginning of your day. Here are 3 easy plastic-free swaps to kickstart your mornings—planet-style.
Ditch the Tube: Toothpaste Tablets
The Problem:
Over 1 billion toothpaste tubes are tossed into landfills each year. Their mixed materials make them nearly impossible to recycle.
The Swap:
Choose toothpaste tablets that come in recyclable or refillable containers. These options are compact, plastic-free, and packed with all the clean your smile needs.
Why it’s better:
-
No plastic waste, ever.
-
TSA-friendly for travel.
-
Cleaner ingredients for your body and the planet.
Switch from Plastic Bottles to Classic Bar Soap
The Problem:
Most shower products come in single-use plastic bottles that wind up in oceans or landfills—over 550 million body wash bottles are sold in the U.S. annually alone.
The Swap:
Switch to the classic bar soap in minimal or compostable packaging. They’re travel-ready, last longer, and reduce clutter in your bathroom.
Why it works:
-
No bottles = no waste.
-
Packed with plant-based goodness.
-
Gentle on skin, strong on cleanliness.
Extra swap: Use a compostable soap tray to keep your bars dry and long-lasting.
Plastic Toothbrushes Out. Compostable Bamboo Brushes In.
The Problem:
Every year, over 1 billion plastic toothbrushes are tossed in the U.S. alone—enough to circle the Earth four times. They never break down and often end up in our oceans.
The Swap:
Switch to Canary’s 100% Plant Based Bamboo Toothbrush. Designed to be as kind to your mouth as it is to the planet, our brush features a 100% bamboo handle and plant-based bristles.
Why it’s different:
-
Compostable handle and bristles that are made with plant based plastics.
-
Sleek, minimal design that fits any aesthetic.
-
Naturally antimicrobial and biodegradable.

Small changes done consistently have the power to reshape your impact. Starting your day plastic-free is more than a habit—it’s a statement. It says: I care, and I’m taking action.
At Canary, we believe sustainability shouldn’t be overwhelming. That’s why our products are designed to make it easy for you to do better—naturally.
