3. A stainless steel reusable coffee filter to eliminate the need for paper filters or keurig containers
4. Mason jar lids to repurpose Mason jars so they can be refilled with bulk liquids and dry goods
5. Wool dryer balls that soften clothes naturally without the need for plastic dryer sheets
6. Bamboo toothbrushes to replace plastic toothbrushes

8. Corn-based dental floss that is vegan and compostable
