We have products in this category that have a small amount of plastic in them to make them functional. It could be a plastic lid on a water bottle, a strip of velcro to hold closed a food pocket, nylon bristles on a straw cleaner, elastic in a food cover or a zipper to close a bread bag.

These products still have a purpose in a world where we’re trying to reduce waste as they eliminate wasteful single use products.

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” ~ Zero Waste Chef Anne Marie Bonneau
