sustainable

Motivated by the massive amount of plastic waste produced worldwide, essentialmerch is committed to reducing single-use plastic by bringing you this sustainable collection. 

It's critical we reduce plastic use:  did you know a thin grocery bag takes as many as 100 years to decompose?  And a single use plastic bottle takes up to 450 years to decay! 

Here are just a few easy substitutions you can make:

• eliminate foil+plastic film with our Beeswax wraps or our Silicone Food Container Covers--they're not only reuseable, but also flexible, washable and waterproof
• our mesh produce bags eliminate the need for single use produce plastic bags AND go from grocery store to fridge. Even better, they let your veggies breathe increasing their life span and reducing food waste
• cut down on plastic cups and straws with our portable travel mug and stainless straws
• stop buyng water in single use disposable bottles by bringing it with you.  Our Essential Flat bottle is far less bulky than a typical water bottle, easier to carry, even in small bags.

By replacing these items with non-disposables, you'll be doing your part to reduce your impact, diverting trash that would otherwise end up in landfills.
