A few days ago I discussed the use of silicone, the importance of purchasing quality silicone, and touched on the debate on whether or not it is sustainable. Today is a discussion on glass. While glass is sustainable as it is fully recyclable, there is a point when it isn’t as sustainable as the zero-waste community would like you to think. Purchasing cases of new glass jars can be tempting, especially when you strive to be was plastic-free as possible, but that’s not sustainable. Purchasing more, and throwing away or recycling the glass you currently have, versus simply using what you have. The aesthetic is nice to look at, but it’s not practical and defeats the purpose of being more sustainable.
