Zerowaste with the LIEBLINGSGLAS

Zero waste means reducing waste and shopping more sustainably and consciously. From coffee to go cups to soap - we produce so much waste every day through packaging that we often don't think about. But actually, many things can be avoided. A zero waste lifestyle can be easily and diversely integrated into everyday life with the LIEBLINGSGLAS:

1. Multifunctional: Glass can be used in many different ways - our accessories turn a coffee mug into a lunch box or a soap dispenser
2. Sustainable : Glass is a sustainable, robust natural product - its lifespan is virtually endless
3. Reusable : Glass does not absorb taste or discolor - simply rinse and reuse

Why zero waste? Because it not only reduces your ecological footprint, but is the first step towards "rethinking". Each of us produces around 450 kg of waste per year - 148 kg of which is for recyclable materials such as packaging. If we shop more consciously, avoid plastic, take our own "bags" for fruit and vegetables, have flour, rice and pasta filled into our own containers and carry our own coffee cup instead of the quick paper coffee cup, each and every one of us can make a contribution to the environment. Our Mason Jars are a perfect alternative to plastic - absolutely sustainable and pretty at the same time. With the Mason Jar you can reduce waste easily and effectively. We would like to show you some possibilities and examples of how you can easily implement the zero waste concept with the Ball Mason Jar:

1. Sustainable To Go Cup :

Ecojarz PopTop lid and Cuppow lid Ecojarz Poptop Lid with Mason Jar To Go Glass Cuppow lid for coffee to go Drinking smoothies on the balcony or quickly getting a coffee to go - 2 things that sweeten our everyday lives. There are 2 options here: You can either get the coffee and throw away the paper cup after 10 minutes, or you can bring your own cup with you. With the Ecojarz Poptop lid for your Ball Mason jar, you can easily take drinks with you. You close the smoothie jar or coffee jar with the silicone stopper and simply take it with you. Alternatively, you can use a Cuppow lid for your FAVORITE JAR - made from recycled plastic. Both Mason Jar To Go lids are available in different colors and sizes (for regular or wide mouth jars)

2. Reusable drinking straw :

stainless steel drinking straw or glass drinking straws Use stainless steel or glass drinking straws - Zerowaste ideas It's the same with smoothies or cocktails - you throw away the plastic straw after a few minutes if you don't use a reusable straw. A smoothie or iced coffee simply tastes better with a straw - no question about it. Without having to do without, you can produce much less unnecessary waste and do something good for the environment by using a straw made of reusable material such as a stainless steel straw or a glass straw . Did you know that in Germany alone, 40 billion plastic straws are used every year and end up in the trash within a few minutes? We can change that!

3. Simply take lunch with you :

Mason Jar Lunchbox with BNTO insert Salad in a Jar - Zerowaste You can avoid getting a salad quickly from the supermarket. With the Ball Mason jar, you can easily prepare lunch the night before and take it with you. Our BNTO lunch box for Mason jars is particularly practical for salad. You put the dressing in the small bowl at the top and the salad at the bottom. This way, everything stays fresh and crisp without getting mushy or having to use two containers. The zero-waste salad jar is 100% leak-proof thanks to the two-part lid - a pickle jar is not. The plastic-free Tupperware container, so to speak.

4. Mason Jar as storage jar :

Shopping plastic-free and avoiding waste Designing a sustainable pantry Clear with the Mason Jar Chalkboard Paint Lid A bulk purchase in the unpackaged store is worthwhile: you can not only stock up on flour, rice and spices here, but also detergent or shampoo. Plastic-free shopping not only has the advantage of reducing plastic and packaging: the whole thing not only looks neat and tidy on the shelf, but also reduces a lot of waste. You can relabel the Mason Jar chalkboard paint lids at any time if you fill the jar with something else, for example.

5. Soap and ketchup in a Mason Jar:

You can find a DIY for homemade liquid soap here. Ketchup and mustard are great to fill in a Mason jar dispenser or make yourself during BBQ season.

6. Tea strainer instead of tea bag :

Mason Jar tea strainer Zerowaste tea strainer - instead of tea bags Whether you want a warm tea in the morning or iced tea - instead of using and throwing away the tea bag every time, you can simply use a tea strainer. Fill it, brew the tea, rinse it and reuse it. You simply put the Mason Jar tea strainer in the glass and can drink straight from it. Each of us can make a small contribution - becoming aware of and integrating more zero waste into our everyday lives is the first step. What are your zero waste ideas?
