Here are some of my favorite low waste swaps for a more sustainable kitchen!
- Refill your dish soap from your local refill shop, if you have one near by or simply just use solid dish soap blocks
- Knitted or cotton towels vs paper towel
- Wooden dish scrubby
- Coconut husk or all natural biodegradable sponges
- Cast iron pans *gives added iron to your cooked meals*
Cooking with a cast iron pan has so many natural benefits vs the toxic teflon pan, due to the fact that they are chemical free and super easy to clean. Also, once seasoned they provide delicious flavor from previous meals! They’re super durable & long lasting, amazing at retaining heat, can be baked in the oven & lastly, fortifies foods with Iron! As far as I’m concerned, the cast iron pan is the Don of all cook ware!
- Bamboo or metal cookware, cutting board, utensils.
