Lead a greener lifestyle with ideas from Kilner®
Kilner® is embracing sustainability this World Earth Day (22nd April) by advocating against plastic pollution and food waste. We encourage using glass containers for your pantry instead of plastic.
Kilner® jars and glass storage are made from A-grade soda lime glass, featuring a smooth, easily cleanable, non-reactive surface. This ensures no transfer of odors or colours, keeping products fresh and reusable. Even if a Kilner® product breaks, it's 100% recyclable, eliminating landfill waste.
1. Small Changes, Big Impact
Pick up as many plastic-free groceries as you can during your next food shop. Wholesalers and even some leading supermarkets now offer pasta, rice and cereals by weight – just bring your Kilner® Jar and fill up!
2. Make Your Own
Try your hand at making your own produce with the help of the Kilner® Create & Make range. Make fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir and sauerkraut as well as butter, sourdough and sauces. Free from artificial additives and preservatives, it’s never been easier to make an array of clean homemade foods.
3. Reduce Single Use Plastic
Steer clear from single-use plastic water bottles. If you want fresh, cold water, just fill up your Kilner® Fridge Dispenser and enjoy at the turn of a tap. Add citrus fruits or cucumber for a refreshing twist.
4. Avoid Plastic Cutlery
Opt for sustainable alternatives to plastic cutlery while on the move. Consider investing in Kilner® Breakfast Jar Set or Soup Jar Set, complete with stainless steel spoons and spoon holders. Utilizing these sets not only promotes homemade meals but also reduces waste.
5. Fake It Till You Make It
Get yourself a reusable cup and use it whenever you buy a takeaway drink or use your Kilner® Coffee Grinder to make barista style coffee at home. For a stripped back, natural approach to coffee, watch beans turn to freshly ground coffee in seconds.
6. Use It Or Lose It
Use up surplus vegetables by adding them to a Kilner® Screw Top Jar or Clip Top Jar and pickling or fermenting them. Easily transform carrots, celery, asparagus, cabbage, cucumber and radish into tantalisingly tangy condiments which you and your family will love.
Similarly, berries and citrus fruits can be used to make homemade preserve, marmalade, and jam.
7. Room for Growth
Grow your own nutrient-rich shoots with the Seed Sprouting Set. Often costly to buy from wholesalers, it really is incredibly simple to level up your cooking with sprouts such as alfalfa, broccoli, and radish for added taste and texture.
