The kitchen is often the heart of the home, but it’s also where we generate a significant amount of waste. From food packaging to disposable utensils, the average kitchen produces pounds of waste daily. The good news? Creating a zero-waste kitchen is more achievable than you might think.
What is a Zero-Waste Kitchen?
A zero-waste kitchen aims to eliminate or dramatically reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. This doesn’t mean you’ll never throw anything away—it means being mindful about what comes into your kitchen and finding sustainable alternatives for common wasteful practices.
