SWAP Cling film 👉🏽 Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax wraps are an all-natural and reusable alternative made from organic cotton, beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. Beeswax wraps can last up to a year! Just make sure to wash them in cold water so the beeswax doesn’t melt off.
SWAP Synthetic Sponges 👉🏽All-natural Sponges
There are biodegradable alternatives to the standard sponges that come wrapped in plastic or plastic dish brushes. Opt for a kitchen brush set that is made from natural fibers, such as coconut bristles and bamboo handles, and is free from toxic chemicals.
SWAP Ziploc Bags 👉🏽 non-toxic Silicone Storage Bags
Many occasions call for a sealable, flexible container when a glass jar or beeswax wrap won’t cut it. For an alternative to endocrine-disrupting single-use Ziploc bags, look to the non-toxic silicone storage bag.
