Kitchen Spaces

Stop Buying Single-Use Food Items

• Stage 1:
  • Reusable Water Bottle
    
  • Reusable Travel Mugs
    
• Stage 2:
  • Bamboo or Metal Utensils
    
  • Reusable Plates or Bowls (or just eat out of the container you brought the food in)
    
• Stage 3:
  • Plastic Free Lunch Boxes/Containers (Also get them filled if you get food to go while at lunch)
    

Stage 1:

Does your office use a single serving coffee machine such as a Keurig?

An alternative solution is to purchase a coffee pot machine that brews multiple cups at once without the need for a single-use plastics. Most coffee machines can also be equipped with a metal filter so there is never a moment the office is out of filters. It will also keep the coffee hot for you.

Stage 2:

Purchasing kitchen towels instead of paper towels

In order to make management and cleaning simple. Work with the office as a whole to get up a cleaning schedule. That passes around the responsibility of cleaning the towels. That way everyone has ownership in the process.
