Five Sustainable Products You Can Buy Once…and Never Again
Modern parents are surrounded by countless disposable items and constant upgrades. But for eco-conscious families, the time to replace an item you already own is when it’s broken beyond repair. That often means you’re always on the hunt for the perfect item — one you’ll want to keep forever (and actually will)! So, to help you find truly sustainable items, we’re revealing a few of our top favorite eco-friendly products that you can buy once and never again.
Pura Stainless bottle
Most reusable bottles (yes, even stainless steel water bottles) are made with small plastic parts that mold and break down into microplastics — or have paint that chips away. Not only are these options temporary solutions, but they’re not healthy for the environment, or you. That’s why we encourage every parent to make the switch to 100% plastic-free water bottles. Every bottle in the Pura line fits every top, so you can let your bottles grow alongside your little ones and ensure they last a lifetime!
Cast iron cookware
Most cookware items are easily scratched and leach chemicals through a non-stick or plastic coatings. This places a big burden on your health, your wallet, and the planet. That’s why we urge parents to invest in a long-lasting cast iron cookware item that they can use safely for decades to come. We’re big fans of Le Creuset for their range of excellent options, high-quality, and durability.
Non-electric coffee maker
While an electronic coffee maker might seem to streamline morning routines and deliver a great cup of joe, they’re often breaking down, calcifying, and even molding. Plus, they’re often made of plastics that are problematic for the environment and your health. We say, skip it and choose a non-electronic option to make your favorite brew the old-fashioned way — with a classic Italian Moka pot from Bioletti, or a pour-over variety such as Chemex!
Sustainable denim
There are few items as beloved as a perfect pair of jeans. But many brands use unsustainable materials and practices, leading to pieces that fall apart and go out of style fast. Instead, look for the perfect pair from high-quality, slow-fashion brands that you can feel good about, look good in, and wear forever. We recommend checking your local thrift store or choosing a timeless, eco-friendly product from a shop like Everlane or Ética.
Heirloom jewelry
These days, it’s easy to hop on accessory trends and purchase low-quality items that break, tarnish, or go out of style quickly. That’s why we recommend choosing truly sustainable, long-lasting, and timeless pieces from a sustainable jeweler, like Bario Neal. They allow you to take an old piece you already own and turn it into something you’ll look forward to passing down!
