Plastic-Free July: How We’re Participating (and How You Can Too)

Every year, millions of people around the world take part in Plastic-Free July—a global movement that challenges individuals and businesses to reduce single-use plastic and help create a cleaner future for our planet.

At Bozy, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way of doing business. Plastic-Free July is the perfect time to reflect on our practices, reaffirm our values, and share practical ways you can join the movement too.

💚 How We're Participating

1. Eco-Friendly Packaging

We’ve swapped plastic wrap, bubble mailers, and synthetic fillers for recyclable, compostable, or reusable alternatives—like kraft paper, jute string, and cornstarch-based mailers.

2. Upcycled & Natural Materials

Many of our products are made from natural fibres (jute, cotton, seagrass) or reused materials (like newspapers repurposed into notebook pages). Choosing these materials helps reduce demand for plastic-based synthetics like polyester, acrylic, or PVC.

3. Supporting Zero-Waste Living

We design items with longevity in mind—timeless aesthetics, durable craftsmanship, and multipurpose functionality. Our hope? That what you buy from us stays with you, not in landfill.

🌿 How You Can Join In

1. Start Small

Plastic-Free July isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making conscious swaps. Begin with one area of your life:

  • Reusable shopping bags

  • Stainless steel or bamboo straws

  • Glass storage containers instead of cling wrap

2. Support Ethical Brands

Look for businesses that use minimal or plastic-free packaging and focus on sustainability. Every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.

3. DIY & Repurpose

Turn old jars into pantry storage, make your own cleaning sprays, or reuse newspaper as wrapping paper. Get creative—less plastic, more personality!

4. Share the Message

Inspire others by sharing your swaps, tips, and challenges on social media using the hashtag #PlasticFreeJuly. Even better—tag your favourite plastic-free brands!

✨ Our Promise

Plastic-Free July is a moment—but our commitment is year-round. We continue to:

  • Audit our supply chain for plastic usage

  • Prioritise biodegradable or reusable materials

  • Educate and inspire our customers to live lighter on the planet

Together, we can turn small changes into big impact.
