Plastic-free kitchen and plastic-free, sustainable food storage
Tips for your plastic-free kitchen
In a world that is increasingly focusing on sustainability and environmental awareness, designing a plastic-free kitchen and storing food in an environmentally friendly way is becoming increasingly important. These two aspects are not only ways in which we can do our part to protect the environment, but they also offer an excellent opportunity to reconsider our everyday habits and to use our planet's resources more consciously. Here's how you can turn your kitchen into a sustainable oasis by reducing plastic and storing food in an eco-friendly way.
Why a plastic-free kitchen?
The far-reaching effects of petroleum plastic on our environment can no longer be overlooked. Petroleum-based plastic packaging is one of the main sources of global plastic pollution. Much of this packaging ends up in landfills or in the oceans, where it takes centuries to decompose. Avoiding plastic in the kitchen is a big step towards reducing this environmental impact. By choosing plastic-free alternatives, such as reusable containers and natural (bioplastic packaging) packaging materials, you help reduce plastic waste and minimize the impact on our ecosystems.
The benefits of a plastic-free kitchen
Environmental Protection: Eliminating petroleum plastic packaging reduces the amount of plastic waste entering the environment. This helps reduce pollution of waterways, soil and ecosystems.
Health Benefits: Petroleum plastic can release substances that can get into our food. Switching to plastic-free alternatives like bioplastic packaging protects you and your family from potentially harmful substances.
Sustainability: Plastic is a finite resource made from petroleum. By switching to plastic-free options, you encourage the use of sustainable and renewable materials.
Inspiration for others: By showing off your plastic-free kitchen, you inspire those around you to make greener choices too and become part of the movement for a greener future.
Alternatives made from renewable raw materials
There are now various alternatives available for optimal food storage for conventional sacks, bags and bags made from petroleum plastic. NaKu offers you a comprehensive range of alternatives that not only protect the environment, but also cover your needs. Here you will not only find carrier bags made of bioplastic, but also Organic Freezer Bags, Organic Fresh Storage Bag, Bio trash bags and the newest product – the innovative NaKu cheese sleeping bag, which is also made of bioplastics.
All NaKu organic bags are characterized by breathability and water resistance and can rot in the compost within a few weeks according to DIN 13432. These bags are made from fast-growing, plant-based raw materials, making them a sustainable choice.
NaKu offers an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional bottles made of PET, rPET or PE - the NaKu PLA/rPLA bottles. The NaKu bio bottle / rPLA bottle, which is 120% sustainable, represents the ideal container for drinks without the use of plastic. This bottle does not contain any harmful plasticizers such as bisphenol A, phthalates or antimony. It is composed of 100% natural plastic/PLA and 20% recycled PLA - in other words, from plants and lactic acid.
The NaKu bio bottle / PLA bottles are both recyclable and compostable. Our NaKu cycle speaks for itself and underlines our commitment to sustainability. In addition, the NaKu bio bottle / PLA bottle made of bioplastic is 7% lighter than conventional plastic, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also reduces CO2 emissions during transport.
The shelf life of the NaKu Bio bottle / PLA bottle is comparable to that of a conventional PET bottle as long as it does not come into contact with microorganisms that could cause its degradation. However, this is rarely the case in daily use. So you can rest assured that the PLA bottle will hold tight and won't damage your bag.
