Plastic-Free Food Storage Ideas - Poosh

@lerafromsaintp

Are you looking to make the shift to plastic-free in your home? There are plenty of small ways in our everyday lives that we can make the switch, starting with our own kitchens. Switching from paper and plastic bag options to reusable ones was the first step many of us took to becoming more eco-friendly. Now, we’re stepping it up with ideas for storing groceries and fresh produce.

Removing plastic from your fridge, freezer, or pantry is a great way to protect your products and the planet. It eliminates the chances of your food being exposed to potential toxins found in plastics, and investing in reusable storage and containers ultimately saves money as the products tend to last longer. From an aesthetic level, non-plastic food storage also makes for a chicer fridge and pantry (just sayin’). Ahead, we’re providing a guide to our favorite plastic-free options including items Kourt uses in her kitchen.
