Here are 5 simple ways to make your kitchen more sustainable — starting today.

1. Switch to Reusables

Trade single-use plastics for long-lasting alternatives:

  • Beeswax wraps instead of cling film

  • Cloth towels instead of paper

  • Reusable silicone bags over zip locks

2. Compost Your Scraps

Food scraps are full of life — don’t throw them away. Composting helps reduce methane emissions and enriches your soil (or your community garden's). If you’re short on space, try a bokashi bin or worm farm.

3. Buy in Bulk

Cut down on packaging waste by shopping at bulk food stores. Bring your own jars and containers and stock up on staples like pasta, rice, nuts, and spices.

4. Support Upcycled & Local Brands

Choose products that reduce waste and support your local economy. From upcycled glassware ( hi!) to reclaimed wooden chopping boards, there's a world of clever design out there.

5. Choose Eco Glassware

Yes, this is a shameless plug — but it’s a good one. Your kitchen sees a lot of action. The glasses you use every day should reflect your values.

Our VESSL glasses are:

  • Made from unused bottles

  • Sustainably sourced and shipped

  • Functional and beautiful

The Bottom Line

Sustainability isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. Every small shift you make contributes to a more circular, conscious lifestyle.

Start where you are. Sip intentionally.
