Sustainable Kitchen Brands for Earth Day
Local Root is the perfect place to find a diverse array of high-quality, unique, and inspirational kitchen gadgets and cookware. While many items we offer are sure to last you for years to come, there are a few top brands that stand out to us for their exceptional dedication to sustainability, recyclability, and ethical sourcing.
For a fun and eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic wrap, look no further than Z Wraps! Made from beeswax, these wraps are handmade in Massachusetts and can be used to keep cheese, snacks, sandwiches, and leftovers fresh for longer periods of time! The wraps are easy to use—simply use the warmth of your hands to mold the material around a piece of food or bowl. To wash, use cool water and mild soap, then roll up to store in a kitchen basket or drawer. Easy!
Libeco Linens are the perfect addition to any kitchen. Aprons protect your clothes from pesky stains and splatters while kitchen towels make cleanup a breeze. Not to mention, Libeco Linens are woven 100% in Belgium. In addition to crafting beautiful kitchen, home, and bath linens, their approach towards environmental-friendliness has proven quite successful. According to their website, “[they] have again made significant steps by becoming a CO2 neutral company and by launching a 100% organic linen collection. Corporate sustainability for a viable future, that is [their] vision.” Aprons, Parma Kitchen Towels, and other kitchen linens will make all the difference in your home.
J.K. Adams offers sleek and sophisticated wooden kitchen tools for the classic chef or baker. Their cutting boards, carving boards, and kitchen tools are high quality and handcrafted in Vermont. They only utilize environmentally-friendly and socially responsible manufacturing processes and sustainably grow and harvest their wood directly from North America. Even the smallest details of their organization are optimized to create a better future for our planet—all light bulbs were replaced to be more energy-efficient and their number one source of heat is wood.
Of course, the list doesn’t end there. At Didriks and Local Root, we take pride in offering a long list of local, ethical, and sustainable brands. In addition to selling high-quality products, we also offer knife sharpening services to keep your older knives working like new and reducing the need for a replacement. We offer waxes, polishes, and oils to return your furniture, kitchenware, knives, and cutlery back to their shiniest selves!
