Making your kitchen a more sustainable one isn’t as tricky as you think. Along with doing simple things like making sure the dishwasher is full before putting on a load, meal planning and eating mostly local produce, you can also gradually switch to using eco-minded products.
This isn’t to say, go home and bin everything in your cupboards and drawers, but remember there are a slew of more environmentally-friendly options available when it comes to replacing your plastic wrap or dishwashing liquid.
From compost bins to clear storage containers to beeswax wraps, we’ve rounded up some of the best sustainable kitchen products to help you cultivate a greener home.
