How to Build a Zero-Waste Kitchen (Even If You’re Just Starting Out)

Going zero-waste can feel intimidating—but it doesn't have to be! Here are five easy steps to get started with a zero-waste kitchen:

1. Do a Waste Audit – Track what you throw out in a week.
   
   

2. Ditch Single-Use Items – Replace cling wrap with beeswax wraps or silicone lids.
   
   

3. Shop in Bulk – Use cloth or glass containers to buy grains, nuts, and snacks.
   
   

4. Switch to Sustainable Serveware – Try wheat straw or rice husk sets from Irida Naturals.
   
   

5. Compost What You Can – Turn food scraps into garden gold.
   
   

Start slow. Even small changes make a difference. Every reusable bowl, every composted peel, every plastic-free purchase adds up.
