Going plastic-free seems so complicated because plastic appears to be in everything, but thankfully with the Internet and a booming interest in the plastic-free lifestyle, finding plastic-free kitchen gadgets and supplies has become much less complicated. I use Etsy for most of my kitchen finds, including solid dish soap and vintage bowls. I like thrifting my teacups, glasses, and cookware when I can. And opting for glass over plastic is a better solution any day.
I have compiled a list of my favorite Etsy finds including solid dish soaps, dish and bottle brushes, vintage kitchenware, and glass canisters. The photos in this post all belong to the Etsy sellers except for the photo at the top of this page.
