Think of how many cleaning products you use in a year, multiplied by millions of households, and these add up to the escalating waste problem as they enter landfills, waiting to outlive us and the next generations. Much of this waste comes in plastic packaging, which collectively worsens floods in poor communities and contributes to emissions — the key driver of climate change. 

Plastics brought convenience at the planet’s expense when they were invented in 1907. Notice how several decades passed without plastic use? This shows that the Earth was once free of plastics and it can be achieved.

An enterprise with a sustainable commitment, Wonderhome Naturals PH, offers a ray of hope to the grim situation of our planet, helping make what was once possible happen again: achieving a plastic-free planet.

The local company offers low-waste alternatives to plastic cleaning products ranging from home care and hypoallergenic selections to personal care and lifestyle essentials. 

Clean and be green with its products used for bathrooms, kitchens, and surface areas, as well as laundry essentials like detergent and fabric softener. The bottles are said to be made from 100 percent recycled and biodegradable materials. 

“All our products are made from plant-based concentrates. Using Philippine coconuts and plant probiotics, we harness the power of nature to take cleaning and disinfecting to the next level. Unlike synthetic detergents that use harsh chemicals to remove all oils and bacterial ecosystems, we use probiotics that normalize the pH level of your home environment,” the group wrote.

Some of Wonderhome Naturals PH’s best offerings include the Natural Wood Top Cleaner and Conditioner for wooden furniture and pet care essentials for fur parents. Once empty, items bought at the shop can be swapped for reward points through the business's bottle exchange program.

"Sustainability is most effective when done together. We hope to make ripples within our community, but we know this is not enough to change the world. We need you and other companies' help to make great waves of change," the group added.

The enterprise shows that we need to start rethinking the ways we approach sustainability, as it should be embedded into our mindset. Paired with collective action and a shared commitment, one step at a time, we move toward achieving a home that future generations can still cherish — one where plastics no longer pester the planet.
