The easiest plastic detox swaps to make first
These recommendations are designed for everyday kitchens: useful, practical, and beautiful enough to leave on the bench.
Swap your plastic cutting board first
Plastic cutting boards are one of the highest-friction items in the kitchen. You chop, scrape, rinse, and repeat — sometimes multiple times a day.

Replace plastic-heavy cleaning tools
A cleaner kitchen routine is not only about cooking tools. It is also about the brushes and scrubbers sitting by the sink every day.
