Ways to be more sustainable in the kitchen Less packaging Whenever possible, buy ingredients in bulk as this reduces the amount of packaging consumed. Utilise our vacuum sealing drawers to repack produce into smaller quantities and freeze. Eat less processed foods Foods which are less refined require less energy to produce. Buy local Australia and New Zealand have an incredible array of producers. By purchasing from local suppliers, you will reduce the kilometres your food needs to travel. Grow your own herbs Create a kitchen garden with a few chosen herbs. Perennial herbs such as rosemary, thyme and mint are great to start with. This will reduce the distance your food travels to just metres! Composting No matter how small your home is, you can compost your food scraps. Try kitchen composters, worm farms or compost bins. Recycling We recommend recycling soft plastics, including those used to sous-vide in our vacuum sealing drawer. Most major supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand have soft plastics collection bins.
