Smarter Storage, Cleaner Counters: Two Easy Swaps to Reduce Kitchen Waste

Published on August 5, 2025 | 5 min read

Plastic wrap, paper towels, cling film, these kitchen staples are convenient, but they come at a high cost to the planet. The good news? You don’t need them. A better way to store, clean, and protect your food has arrived, and it’s refreshingly simple.

With just a few thoughtful swaps, your food storage routine can go from wasteful to wonderfully waste-free. And at mimro, we’re proud to spotlight two brands making that transformation easier (and more stylish) than ever: NATURE BEE and ZERO WASTE MVMT.

Let’s explore how these low-waste heroes make it easy to wrap, rinse, and repeat without the landfill guilt.

🐝 NATURE BEE Beeswax Wraps: Wrap It Up, the Natural Way

Say goodbye to cling film and hello to colorfully patterned, compostable beeswax wraps from NATURE BEE. Handcrafted in Canada, these wraps are made with 100% cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax, tree resin, and jojoba oil, a blend that naturally clings to food and containers.

Why NATURE BEE shines:

• Reusable for up to a year
• Biodegradable and compostable at the end of life
• Vibrant, reusable designs that spark kitchen joy

Perfect for wrapping sandwiches, cheese, fruits, herbs, and covering bowls, Nature Bee wraps mold with the warmth of your hands and seal like magic, no plastic in sight.

mimro tip: Keep a small, medium, and large wrap on hand for different tasks. Nature Bee’s value packs make it easy to build your zero-waste stash.

💧 Zero WASTE MVMT Swedish Dishcloths: The Paper Towel Upgrade

Paper towels are a kitchen default, but they’re wasteful, single-use, and hard on the environment. Enter Swedish dishcloths from Zero Waste Mvmt, a reusable alternative that’s durable, ultra-absorbent, and beautifully designed.

Made from a blend of cellulose and cotton, these cloths can soak up to 20x their weight in liquid, making them perfect for spills, drying dishes, or wiping down counters.

Why you’ll love them:

• Each cloth replaces 15+ rolls of paper towels.
• Machine washable and quick drying
• 100% compostable after 6–9 months of use

 mimro tip: Keep a few in rotation, one for dishes, one for surfaces, and one as a backup. They dry fast and look great on your sink or drying rack.

🌿 Zero-Waste Made Simple

Together, Nature Bee and Zero Waste Mvmt offer a powerful, practical path to a cleaner kitchen and a cleaner planet. These small changes don’t just reduce your trash, they upgrade your routine, save money over time, and spark more joy in everyday tasks.

Whether you’re storing leftovers or wiping down your counter, you can feel good knowing you’re making a difference, one wrap, one rinse, one repeat at a time.
