WE ALL know how important recycling is. It reduces waste to landfill and creates new sources of materials that can be used again.
But waste can be bulky and sorting it in the home can be difficult when space is tight. If you are looking for solutions that make waste handling and recycling easier and more efficient, IKEA has a few ideas – and you don't need to sacrifice a comfortable, functional and beautiful home. With IKEA's many food storage and waste sorting products you can reduce food waste too.
There are lots of different types of waste produced in the kitchen. A lot can be recycled. IKEA provides solutions that are practical and easy to use. One of them is the Rationell range of waste sorting bins which can be combined together.
The Rationell recycling series fits into a kitchen cabinet or drawer and has lids that lock in odours. Rationell bins are suitable for waste sorting of glass, metal, plastic, newspapers, batteries, bulbs, etc. Folding handles help keep the bin-liner in place and make the bin easy to carry. Rounded corners make it easy to clean. Food waste can be reduced by using see-through containers that make it easy to see what food is stored, how much is left and when it is time to fill up.
The IKEA 365+ range of food containers can help to store left-overs and reduce food waste. All containers can be used in the fridge, freezer and microwave. Several empty food containers can be stacked inside one another to save space in your cabinets. The smaller containers have a vent in the lid that makes heating in the microwave more efficient and the larger containers have a removable grid that helps keep vegetables stored in the container fresher for longer.
If you want to live more sustainably, the above simple ideas will help you to recycle more and cut down on waste.
