The kitchen is one of the biggest sources of household waste, but it is also one of the easiest places to make meaningful changes. Here are five swaps that pay for themselves.
1. Switch to Glass Food Containers
Plastic containers wear out, stain, and eventually end up in landfills. Tempered glass containers last years, are microwave and dishwasher safe, and do not absorb odors. Our 20 oz and 34 oz containers come with leak-proof lids that make them ideal for meal prep and leftovers.
2. Replace Plastic Wrap with Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax food wraps are reusable for months, mold around any shape with the warmth of your hands, and are fully biodegradable. They are perfect for covering bowls, wrapping cheese, or packing sandwiches.
3. Trade Paper Towels for Bamboo Alternatives
Bamboo paper towels are made from a fast-growing renewable resource and are often more absorbent than conventional options. Our 2-ply recycled paper towels are made from 80% post-consumer material.
4. Use Silicone Storage Bags
Silicone food storage bags replace single-use plastic baggies. They are leakproof, dishwasher safe, and can be used hundreds of times. Available in 10 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz sizes.
5. Switch to a Bamboo Dish Brush
Plastic dish brushes shed microplastics into your water system. Bamboo dish brushes with natural fiber bristles are compostable at the end of their life and clean just as effectively.
None of these swaps require a big upfront investment, and each one reduces your household waste while lasting longer than the plastic alternative it replaces.
