Zero-Waste Essentials
Cut single-use plastics from your kitchen with reusable, sustainable alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a zero-waste kitchen?
Start by replacing single-use items with reusable alternatives: swap plastic bags for Stasher silicone bags, plastic wrap for beeswax wraps, paper towels for Swedish dishcloths, and plastic bottles for stainless steel. Make swaps gradually as you run out of disposables.
Are silicone bags better than plastic?
Yes, reusable silicone bags like Stasher are much better than single-use plastic. They're made from food-grade platinum silicone, dishwasher and freezer safe, and can be reused thousands of times. One Stasher bag can replace thousands of plastic bags.
What is the most important zero-waste swap?
Replacing single-use plastic bags with reusable alternatives (silicone bags, beeswax wraps, or glass containers) has the biggest impact. Americans throw away 100 billion plastic bags yearly—switching to reusables eliminates this waste.
