Minute green:zero waste tableware

At NUOO, we share everyday planetary and ecological tips!

This summer, make way for zero waste dishes!

First of all, we want to reassure you:here, no camping-style dishes with a washcloth and a trickle of water. No, zero waste tableware is now trendy and fun. Impossible will you answer us? Well no ! We prove it to you.

To do your dishes while being zero waste, we eliminate traditional dishwashers and washing-up liquid in favor... of a solid cleaner! And nothing like the famous Marseille soap, formidable against dirt, effective, ecological and economical. Because, we often forget that the classic dishwashing liquid found in all supermarkets contains most of the time harmful and polluting ingredients that end up in siphons, groundwater and seas. A natural Marseille soap does not pollute, has no packaging to throw away and lasts a very long time.

It is associated with a dishwashing brush, very practical and effective, or with a reusable sponge. In France, an average of 10 sponges are used per year, most of which are non-recyclable and made from petroleum derivatives. Nothing natural therefore and very ecological. We therefore opt for either reusable sponges, a brush or a tawashi, meaning a small knit of upcycled fabrics.

Rest assured ! If you think you're going to spend a lot more time doing the dishes, you're wrong:the brush + Marseille soap duo has been tested and approved by our team.

So, ready to do something for the planet? We bet that the dishes will become a real moment of pleasure!
