Zero waste is an approach to reduce our impact on the environment, and which aims to reduce the quantity of waste emitted and the waste of resources. It is opposed to the production of single-use objects and certain methods of waste treatment (landfill, incineration, etc.). It is sometimes called zero waste, to maintain the double meaning of the word "waste", which in English means both "waste" and "waste".

Zero waste is a progressive and positive approach, which we can follow individually and collectively.

In this article, we present 4 ecological products to wash your dishes more responsibly.

There's nothing better than a solid product to replace plastic bottles at the sink. So we turn to this solid dishwashing soap !

It is small but effective and has disinfectant, cleaning, degreasing and cleaning properties. The solid formula uses less water and contains more active ingredients. This means that your skin will be protected and cleaning just as successful.

It is packaged in a cardboard case. This also helps reduce the production of plastic waste. And it doesn't stop there... This product is also more economical, because it lasts 2 to 3 months. The process is simple. Simply scrub your dish brush or sponge with soap.

All you have to do is make your plates, pots and utensils shine.

It's happened to all of us: the bottom of a pan or dish catching fire, dirty pots or barbecue grills... But more seriously, who has ever forgotten a pan, pot or dish on the Cook ?

It is imperative to scrub the grease in these situations. The wooden dishwashing brush is the perfect accessory for removing stubborn grease. It is made from plant fibers like agave to effectively remove dirt without scratching dishes.

Brushes that have removable heads are perfect for cleaning. After damaging the bristles, you can easily change the head so that it goes directly into the compost bin.

We'll explain how to do it, it's very simple. You need :

• a dish brush 🧹
• a solid dish soap 🧼

To wash your dishes in zero waste mode, follow these 4 steps :

1. Rinse the plate with hot water and the brush. In fact, dirt is removed more easily with hot water. To reduce your hot water consumption, we advise you to wash your dishes quickly to prevent dirt and residue from drying, making the task more difficult.
2. Apply soap to the brush by rubbing it on the soap. Very little soap is needed, it is better to use less than too much!
3. Scrub the plate and lather
4. Finish by rinsing with clean water

In addition to reducing your plastic waste, you will also save money. A solid dish soap is more economical than dishwashing liquid and can last several months!

Finding a good alternative to synthetic sponges is not an easy task. We are not all fans of washable sponges or dishwashing brushes.

To complete the essential accessories for an eco-responsible home , we offer you the natural biodegradable sponge . This dishwashing sponge is made from 100% natural products: cellulose from wood pulp for the sponge part and a mixture of hard nut shells and fruit stones for the scraping part.

This natural sponge will also reduce your household waste since it is entirely biodegradable .

Doing your dishes efficiently, without scratching and in an eco-responsible way becomes even easier with these sponges.

It is starting to become more and more popular. With our “environmentally conscious” cap, traditional paper towels (also called paper towels) are not the best solution. There's cardboard, single-use paper towels, all wrapped in plastic. All that to use a sheet, just once... It makes you think. You can compost the sheet only if the paper towel has “Eco label” certification and if it is not soiled (no greasy or chemical elements on it).

The solution to this problem is called reusable washable paper towels . Made from terry cloth, this product has been popular in Sweden for over 60 years and can absorb 15 times its own weight in liquid (up to 3/4 cup). These terry cloths replace traditional paper towels, reduce plastic packaging and waste. They will clean all surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom without leaving any marks . Ideal for granite, stainless steel, laminate and glass stoves.

Its composition of cellulose (wood pulp) and cotton is 100% biodegradable and can be thrown into the compost . This paper towel is naturally antibacterial due to its quick-drying ability, meaning no “dishcloth” smell !
