What’s The Environmental Impact Of Food Huggers?Updated 2 hours ago
Reducing food waste is at the heart of what we do—and that’s one of the most powerful ways any of us can help the planet.
Every Food Hugger helps keep fresh food fresher, longer. That means fewer fruits and veggies ending up in the trash or compost, and fewer resources wasted on growing, packaging, and transporting food that never gets eaten. When food ends up in landfills, it breaks down without oxygen and produces methane gas, one of the most potent greenhouse gases. So every saved avocado, lemon, or tomato is a small but meaningful win for the climate.
Food Huggers also help you ditch single-use plastics for good. Each Hugger replaces hundreds—sometimes thousands—of disposable baggies, wraps, and films over its lifetime. They’re made to last for years, not weeks, and when they finally wear out, we’ll recycle them responsibly through our takeback program with TerraCycle®.
It’s a simple switch, but small habits add up:
- Less food waste = less methane and fewer emissions
- Fewer disposables = less plastic in oceans and landfills
- Reusable tools = a more sustainable kitchen for years to come
We’re proud to be a Certified B Corp, which means people and planet are built into every decision we make—from design and materials to packaging and partnerships.
Because we believe sustainability works best when it feels good—when it’s colorful, joyful, and easy to live with every day.
