60-80% Australian landfill consists of these BIG 4 items: plastic bags, plastic water bottles, disposable coffee cups and plastic straws. It’s so easy to make the switch and reduce our plastic consumption by making your own zero waste kit.
This zero waste kit consists of the absolute ESSENTIALS and can easily fit into a handbag or a small tote bag.
What's in the kit?
1. Stainless steel drink bottle
2. Reusable glass coffee cup
3. Reusable fold-up tote bag
4. Stainless steel straw
All stored in a handy cotton produce bag which you can easily transfer into any handbag.
Handy tips for remembering your zero waste kit:
1. Keep it with your shoes - I store mine in the entryway shoe cupboard, that way, I always remember to grab it before I head out the door. This is great if you're like me and change handbags frequently, I have my kit store in a basket that is labelled "Don't forget your zero waste kit!"
2. Keep it in your car! I don't own a car, but a lot of my Instagram followers have it stored in their car so they don't forget it!
3. Make it a habit, I make sure it's on my quick mental checklist before I head out the door. Phone, keys, wallet, zero waste kit!
Why not make your own zero waste kit today?
Great post, Anita! I love your focus on the 'big 4.' ragdoll playground Have you considered sharing tips on integrating local resources into these kits? It could inspire more community engagement and reduce waste even further!
Lately, I've been determined to reduce plastic waste, so I've been making my own drinks to bring to work. This saves me from using too many plastic cups and gives me extra time to relax and unwind with a few rounds of Run 3 – it's incredibly fun! It's the perfect way to live green and have some time to unwind!

With its cartoon art style and smooth animations, FNF delivers a fun arcade rhythm experience that rewards timing, practice, and pure musical instinct.
Really practical way to frame it — going after the big four first makes the whole zero-waste effort feel doable instead of overwhelming. I passed this along to a friend behind a small creative project called The Freak Circus, and even she took notes on the reusable swaps. It is the steady, deliberate changes that stick. Thanks for keeping it grounded and genuinely useful.
