sustainable kitchen
​When looking for ways to live more sustainably, upgrading kitchen sink accessories can easily replace plastic while elevating your home. Below are ways I've recently made my way to a more sustainable kitchen.

​Not only can these items be a green living stepping stone for your kitchen, you can pull these items together in a basket to make a lovely housewarming gift.

1. Wood Riser

I started by looking for a piece to keep all of my countertop items organized, with a wood option being top of mind as it's a naturally renewable resource. I chose this espresso wood riser ​in size 8"X5.5" as my kitchen soap caddy because it was small enough to fit by the sink without taking up too much space while allowing room for everything I needed to be accessible. The shop offers this tray in 5 sizes, starting at $28, with a large assortment of colors to match many kitchen aesthetics.

​2. Soap Dispensers

​Next I moved on from the single-use plastic soap dispensers to these glass soap dispensers.  Glass is a sustainable and fully recyclable material. We utilize our kitchen a lot, so I wanted the larger 16oz size. If you're looking for a smaller size, here is a 12oz version that I opted for with our bathroom sinks.

​3. Ceramic Labels

​​When searching labels for bottles, I was afraid stickers would peel off quickly and went with these ceramic labels. They aren't recycable but are long-lasting and will wear well over time.

​4. Loofah Sponge

Loofah sponges are natural, 100% compostable, and anti-bacterial everyday cleaning items. This sponge arrived dehydrated and looked very thin. Once I ran water over it, it expanded and was ready to use.

Knowing how to clean a loofah is crucial to taking advantage of it's benefits. To disinfect, boil it in clean water for one to two minutes and then let it dry completely. ​

​5. Sponge Holder

​A ceramic holder is more aesthetically pleasing than plastic and makes a durable storage option for the loofah sponge, allowing it to dry before use.
