Food waste and over-dependence on plastic go hand-in-hand. To help cut down on both, you need to shop thoughtfully and store correctly, understanding how best to preserve the foods you eat.
Plastic packaging can contribute to food wastage because many of us tend to crowd the refrigerator with so many long-lasting goods that we forget what we’ve stashed away, and thus let it go to waste. (If you can’t see it, you'll forget to eat it.) Modern refrigerators are well-engineered and packed with features to keep your food fresh for longer, without the need for excess packaging. To get the most out of these fridges, it’s important to use their features correctly.
