It's Time to Rethink Your Kitchen Supplies

If you knew how damaging plastic kitchen supplies are to your health, would you be more motivated to make the switch?

Did you know that black pigmented plastic is colored with carbon black? Carbon black is often made from soot from the incomplete combustion of petroleum products like diesel, which can impact our health.

Respiratory issues, lung disease, reproductive issues, and cancer have all been linked to carbon black! Stay safe and replace your non-eco friendly kitchen materials with biodegradable/sustainable materials.

Zero Waste Kitchen Favorites

This eco friendly pot scrubber has a Moso Bamboo handle and plant fiber bristles! It removes heavy duty grime, while keeping microplastics out of the kitchen.

2. Vejibag

Our best seller for Farmer's Market goers! This Vegetable Crisper Bag is designed to preserve your veggies and herbs for long-lasting crispness. No need to use plastic bags filled with chemicals including endocrine disruptors anymore.

3. Swedish Dish Cloth

Replace 17 rolls of paper towels with one Swedish Dish Cloth! These sustainable, sturdy kitchen aids come in endless designs.

The organic cotton and cellulose prevent bacteria build up, like that of plastic sponges, and clean the biggest of spills.
