Nubius Organics offers reusable, no impact solutions that make a valuable difference in reducing the pollution and cleanup costs associated with disposables. Disposable products are resource and toxin-intensive to manufacture, and then require additional energy to transport and dispose of. With the finite resources of our planet being used faster than they can be replenished, each of us can do our part to keep our planet green so future generations have access to the natural resources we enjoy.

You can make help to reduce waste by bringing your own reusable bottles, bags and lunch products.

As few as ten years ago, there was no market for bottled water. Today, the approximately 2 million plastic bottles used in the US every 15 minutes drive this multi-billion dollar market. Why the shift? Bottled water manufacturers’ spends millions of dollars encouraging the perception that their products are purer and safer than tap water. But the reality is that tap water is actually held to more stringent quality standards than bottled water, and many brands are just tap water in disguise. Klean Kanteen, Earthlust, SIGG Bottles and Camelback stainless steel bottles are safe, money-saving substitutes.

Although disposable plastic bags were introduced just over 25 years ago, society's consumption rate is now estimated at well over 500,000,000,000 (that's 500 billion) plastic bags annually, or almost 1 million per minute, most of which end up in the oceans or landfills, where they endanger wildlife, emit toxins and take over 1000 years to decompose. Reusablebags such as Envirosax or Chico Bags are a smart and ecofriendly alternative solution.

Packing a no waste lunch in a reusable lunch bag is healthy eco-friendly and more economical than buying prepared, to-go food. The average disposable “brown bag” lunch creates between 4–8 ounces of garbage everyday. That can add up to as much as 100 pounds per year! Not only do prepared and processed foods produce more waste, they are also up to 25% more expensive. Reusable lunch boxes and reusable sandwich wraps, such as Laptop Lunches, Wrap n Mats and Snack Taxis are a healthy way to reduce excess trash.

Each of us can do our part to go from conventional to green shopping, switch to reusables and ditch the disposables and start working today toward a cleaner, greener future.
