From Swedish dishcloths to resealable silicone food bags and reusable coffee pods, there is no shortage of ways to transform your kitchen into a green utopia. However, one element that often flies under the consciousness radar is the footprint of our cookware.
In honor of Earth Month, ceramic cookware company Caraway is launching a recycling initiative called Re-Store Your Kitchen to help keep older but still usable cookery out of landfills.
The initiative is powered by Earth911, a recycling database, and the premise is simple: Customers who purchase new cookery from Caraway are provided with information about where they can donate or recycle their old pots and pans. Shoppers enter their zip code on the Caraway recycling page and the site aggregates all the centers within a few dozen miles that would take the old kitchenware, along with their address, hours, and phone number.
“Sustainability has been an important part of Caraway’s overall mission since launch,” says founder Jordan Nathan. “While we encourage consumers to upgrade and use our non-toxic cookware which releases 60% less CO2 than traditional cookware, we also want to encourage people to recycle or donate their old cookware in order to minimize waste.”
Minimizing waste is the mantra of Caraway. Since launching in 2019, the brand has looked for ways to be better stewards of the planet. Beyond this program, Caraway also uses recycled cardboard, zero plastic bags, and low-impact print dyes in its packaging. Because Caraway’s cookery is ceramic-coated, it’s also free of the chemicals that are found in Teflon, like PFOA, PTFE, PFAS, lead, nickel, and others that are harmful to both people and the planet.
This most recent initiative is also an extension of another donation program it runs, wherein Caraway donates returned, gently used cookware pieces and sets to marginalized families in the United States through organizations like Grace Care Center, Choice Food Pantry, and the Mustard Seed Furniture Bank of Indiana. To date, Caraway has donated roughly $400,000 worth of products, which it says has impacted more than 1,500 families.
“We believe that no one should have to sacrifice their health or the environment at the hands of their cookware,” Nathan says. “Our goal is for everyone to have access to safe, high-quality cookware.”
