Eco friendly food storage

Food storage and food waste

How we store our food is more important than you might think at first. Food waste is a huge problem in Australia, with so much food going to landfill each year. Food doesn’t break down safely without a proper compost system and so food waste to the level we make it is a serious contributor to climate change. Storing our food properly is therefore not only crucial to keeping our food fresh and safe to eat but also keeping our food from going to waste and contributing to greenhouse gasses.

Fuss free fresh food storage

Although many of us rely on plastic zip-lock bags, plastic wrap or plastic containers to store our food in, there are many reusable alternatives. One brand that specialises in reusable food storage is Ever Eco. Ever Eco have reusable swaps for all your single use plastic food storage. Reusable food pouches are a great option for those wanting to replace conventional plastic zip-lock bags. A silicone food pouch is much the same as its plastic counterpart only it is made from silicon and can therefore be washed and reused over and over, rather than thrown away after one use.
