Eco-friendly gadgets
Film Freshness Tracker LightTags
Price: Set of 3 for $58
It’s a food freshness tracker that not only helps people avoid foods that make them sick, but also helps them waste less food. We buy so many groceries at our house, but we can’t eat the products fast enough. The Ovie LightTags ensure that you always remember to grab the leftovers by making sure you notice them. When you open the refrigerator and see a yellow light, it’s time to use it or lose it.
LightTags are reusable and easy to set up with the click of the movie button. Press once for each day you want to track, up to 30 days.
Ideal for preparing meals, leftovers, takeout and opened dips and dressings.
Their eco-friendly packaging mailers are compostable, boxes are saved and reused (but are also made from pressed bamboo pulp making them compostable) and the rest is recyclable
Mill food recycler
Prices start at $29.99/month
Do you hate seeing your food go to waste? Mill is a food recycling system that makes it very easy and convenient for families to prevent food waste at home. It takes weeks for the tank to fill up and the best part is that there are no more odors in your kitchen.
Mill’s mission is to eliminate food waste. They designed the smart, minimalist Mill kitchen sink that is effortless to use, almost impossible to break and easy on the eyes.
So not only do you get this cool technology, you also sleep better at night knowing you’re making an impact. What’s really cool is that Mill preserves food for food by turning kitchen scraps into food for farms and gardens. Some of the benefits include finding that you take out your regular trash much less often and becoming more aware of certain groceries that you keep buying but never eat, ultimately saving you money at the store.
Children also love Mill. They’re excited to help put food scraps in the trash, and parents love the idea of ​​teaching kids to make more sustainable choices that are better for the environment. For LA residents, Mill makes it so easy and convenient for families to comply with the new regulations. The sleek Mill container is the perfect addition to your kitchen. Mill has helped people divert more than 3 million pounds of food from landfills.
