Storage
Check out our ultimate Christmas food checklist – want to reduce your plastic use this Christmas? Some plastic free swaps are easier than others, either because of associated costs and the time the swap takes, so we have ranked all our plastic free food swaps as either bronze, (easy) silver, (more tricky) gold (for plastic-free pros).
Bronze
- Swap cling film for foil (foil can be recycled at kerbside!)
- Reuse containers to store food (e.g. from takeaways, butter or fresh soup)
Silver
- Buy reusable sandwich bags rather than disposable plastic bags, they work just as well for soup and will fit to the shape of your fridge.
Gold
- Store large fabric bags of potatoes or rice in cool dark places
- Make your own reusable wax wraps to use instead of clingfilm
