5 nachhaltige Küchen-Produkte, die dir das Leben leichter machen

5 Sustainable Kitchen Products That Will Make Your Life Easier

August 20, 2026Manuela Frei

Sustainable products shouldn't complicate your daily life. Rather, they should be a genuine alternative to plastic sponges & co. and be just as easy and effective, if not better, to use.

Today, we're showing you 5 real alternatives for your kitchen; completely microplastic-free and without unnecessarily harming the environment.

1. Biodegradable & Compostable Sponges - The yellow plastic sponge is so last year!

The Luffa Kitchen Sponge efficiently cleans pots, glasses & co. without scratching. When it comes into contact with water, it becomes soft and pliable. It can be washed at up to 90°C, making it hygienic in the long term. It is a completely natural product and can simply be composted at the end of its life.
If you prefer a soft, fluffy and yellow ;-) sponge, you'll love our Magic Sponges. Just as soft, just as flexible, but 0% plastic, as they are made from cellulose (plant fibres) and cotton. They can also be washed (max. 60°C) and thus remain hygienic.

2. Reusable Silicone Bags - A real alternative to plastic wrap

Instead of wrapping your lunch in cellophane, you can simply put it in a silicone bag (silicone is made from sand, so it's not petroleum-based plastic and is completely food-safe). Unlike metal tins, the bag takes up hardly any space, is light and flexible. After use, it can simply be washed in the dishwasher and is ready for the next meal.
But it can do even more: you can freeze food in it, microwave it, or heat it in a water bath.

3. Bowl Covers - Stylish and useful

With the bowl covers, your salad stays fresh longer: simply moisten the organic cotton fabric and place it over the bowl. Thanks to the elastic band, the bowl covers sit firmly and don't fall off easily when handling the bowl.
You can also use the covers to let dough rise in a bowl or to protect snacks on a summer evening (mosquitoes don't stand a chance).
Lovingly hand-printed, the designs are real eye-catchers and further beautify any table.
 
4. Food Huggers - Small lids with a big impact

The Food Huggers are also made of silicone (that's not plastic, you remember ;-)) and keep cut fruits and vegetables fresh longer. You can simply place them over the cut edge and the resulting vacuum reliably protects your food.
Additionally, you can use them to securely seal jars, cans, cups, or small bowls.
And the Food Huggers can also be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. Easy peasy!
  
5. Sponge Cloths - The better wipes

Sponge cloths may be a simple product, but I would never switch back to another dishcloth. Not only do they look incredibly cute, but they are also incredibly durable, absorbent, and hygienic. They are made from cellulose and cotton and can be washed in the washing machine or even in the dishwasher at up to 95°C.
You can use them to clean any surfaces, wipe windows, or as an alternative to paper towels.
You can also use them to store berries: simply moisten the sponge cloth, place it in a bowl, and put the washed berries on top. The sponge cloth absorbs excess water without drying out the berries.
The sponge cloths are also compostable.
We have various sponge cloths in our shop, design made in Switzerland!
