Cork Pad Ladder

Dress your table in style while protecting it from heat with the Cork Pad Ladder, an environmentally-friendly, metre-long ladder style cork hot pad. Made from renewable cork, the dye used on this unique item is non-toxic and food-safe certified, and the strap connecting the cork “rungs” is made of leather. The versatile cork pad ladder bends and twists into any shape you desire, allowing the hot pad to be used on any shaped table, either rectangular or circular. Made in Sweden by Hetta.

Re-Useable Eco-Food Cover

Cut down your use of plastic wraps and aluminum foil with the innovative re-usable Eco-Food Covers. Made from BPA-free, 100% safe, non-toxic silicone, these handy little covers are made to be used on any type of bowl, dish or pan. Earthenware, plastic, porcelain, or stainless steel, you’ll be flipping your containers upside down to demonstrate their fabulous seal. And the best part? These covers are freezer, dishwasher, microwave and oven safe (up to 446 degrees F) which means you can transfer your meals from freezer to oven with the eco-cover on the whole way. Plus, they do not age or deteriorate over time.

Bamboo Cutting Board

These fabulous earth-friendly cutting boards are crafted from naturally re-occurring bamboo that is free from formaldehyde based adhesives, dyes or stains. Being a species of grass, not wood, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, it needs no replanting, it grows without fertilizer or pesticides, and it is biodegradable and compostable, meaning zero waste. Not only are these bamboo cutting boards environmentally savvy, they are also dishwasher safe. The durable bamboo cutting boards are denser and harder than most hard woods (16% harder than maple). Another bonus? They also inhibit the growth of bacteria due to the fact that bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial, keeping your food and your loved ones safe. Available in three sizes.
