Go Plastic-Free with Bonnie Bio’s Earth-Friendly & Compostable Products
Are you looking to reduce the amount of single-use plastic and harsh cleaning products you use around the house? Well, it’s time to say goodbye to single-use plastic, unnecessary plastic packaging, and harsh household cleaning products because Bonnie Bio is making it easier than ever to reduce your waste footprint and environmental impact with its range of plant-based plastic alternative products.
The products in the Bonnie Bio range are all plastic-free, environmentally conscious, and packaged in South Africa to create much-needed jobs. These effective products are free from nasties and offer a great way to help reduce single-use and packaging plastic.
I’ve been putting some of the products in the Bonnie Bio range to good use in our home over the last couple of weeks. I have been so impressed with every product we’ve tried and will definitely be re-buying our most-loved Bonnie Bio products to use around the house going forward.
Here’s a look at some of my hero products from the Bonnie Bio Lineup.
Bonnie Bio Air Fryer Liners
As a household that uses an Air Fryer daily, the Bonnie Bio Air Fryer Liners have been life-changing. Convenience in a box, these biodegradable paper-based liners come in three handy sizes to fit almost any air fryer. Planet-friendly air fryer liners help to save water, save cleaning time (amen!) and extend the life of your air fryer basket. Even better? The liners will also expand your air fryer’s capabilities as you can cook with liquids.
If you haven’t joined the Air Fryer cult then you’ll be happy to know that they are also ideal as an oven baking tray, a microwave dish, in your food steamer and even in your frying pan (perfect for frying eggs and saves you time cleaning your pan!).
Bonnie Bio Air Fryer Liners are made from 99% wood pulp and are ethically sourced and manufactured. They are plastic-free, chlorine-free, bleach-free, petroleum-free, 100% biodegradable, non-stick, waterproof, oil-resistant, FDA-approved, no PFA’s (forever chemicals) and safe up to 220°C. They release zero toxins, are vegan friendly and kosher certified.
Bonnie Bio Home Compostable Bags
Another daily saviour has been the range of Bonnie Bio Home Compostable Bags. Walks in the park with our labrador are now guilt-free thanks to the 2 – 2.5L Multi-Purpose Bags. These little bags offer an environmentally friendly way to scoop up your dog’s business in public but they are also ideal for wrapping sandwiches, storing fresh fruit and packing school lunch goodies.
The Bonnie Bio Home Compostable Bags come in four sizes including the Multi-purpose Bags; Mini Pedal Bin and Food Waste bags (3 – 5L ); Larger Pedal Bin and Office Basket Bags (11 – 12L ); Tall Kitchen Swing-Bin Bags (30 – 32L); and Dustbin/Garden Refuse Bags (85L).
We’ve found a million and one uses for these bags in their various forms and will be making a habit of keeping the different sizes in our kitchen drawer for those moments when you need a bag for life’s little daily challenges and tasks but you can’t bare to use a plastic packet.
These bags usually compost to nothing within 3 months, sometimes as fast as 15 days in optimal conditions. Check out this link to see how Bonnie Bio bags break down to biomass and water, leaching zero toxins and leaving no microplastics behind, assisting towards keeping our local environments pristine and eliminating pollution.
Even more daily convenience
Other daily convenience products in the range include Compostable Drinking Straws (6mm and 8mm), Home Compostable Disposable Paper Cups (250ml), and Compostable Cutlery. All perfect to use for picnics, camping, road trips, hiking, and sports matches.
I also love the Natural Spring Water in 100% Compostable Bottles. Available in 500ml and 1L bottles, this range brings back the convenience of drinking bottled water without the worry of contributing to the plastic pollution problem. If you need water on the go in a disposable bottle then you’ve found the ideal solution in Bonnie Bio.
The Kindness Range
Moving away from the compostable convenience range, Bonnie Bio also offers consumers a range of planet-friendly (as well as human and pet-friendly) household products. The range includes Bonnie Bio Pre-Wash & Stain Remover, Menstrual Stain Remover, Sneaker Cleaner & Stain Remover, Sports Stain Remover, Natural Mozzie Repellent, Fly Away Repellent, and Fly Away Repellent Borosilicate Glass Oil Burner Kit.
Along with warmer weather, comes flies! We always struggle with pesky flies in our kitchen so the Fly Away Repellent, and Fly Away Repellent Borosilicate Glass Oil Burner Kit arrived at the perfect time! The Fly Away Repellent is an easy, quick-use product that you can spray on countertops and other surfaces to repel flies quickly, while the Oil Burner Kit is an all-day solution for flies that just won’t take the hint.
Fly Away is a 100% natural, zero-toxin alternative to repel flies and bees without any DEET or Pyrethrum. This 100% natural water-based, hypoallergenic fly repellent does not harm the respiratory system. When dining outdoors, spray on tables or tablecloths to repel flies for at least 2 to 3 hours. The product is safe on sensitive skin, safe on animals, and helps repel bees (it will not kill flies or bees, just repels them). To use, simply spray on all surfaces where flies are a nuisance and wipe off the excess.
The Fly Away Repellent Borosilicate Glass Oil Burner starter kit comes with a glass burner, a mini Fly Away Repellent and tea light candle. It can be used indoors and outdoors and is ideal for use on an outdoor table for a braai as well on the kitchen island for fly-free cooking. The burner is also safe to use around children and animals, but must be used in a ventilated area.
The Natural Mozzie Repellent is just as effective and is a great all-natural alternative to use when mosquitos are bugging you. It’s water-based, hypoallergenic and lasts up to 6 hours for indoor and outdoor protection. Spray on clothes and exposed skin as well as linen and pyjamas at night for a peaceful night’s sleep. The product is safe for toddlers and does not harm the respiratory system in children.
Another surprise standout is the Menstrual Stain Remover. This stuff works like magic! The gentle, 100% plant extract and essential oil water-based stain remover helps remove stubborn stains on even the most delicate garments and bedding. Just shake well before use and spray onto the stain. Gently rub and rinse with cold water before washing as normal. The spray can be used on old stains as well as new, restoring your time-of-the-month underwear to its former glory.
