From non-toxic bakeware to eco-friendly sparkling water makers, the October 2021 kitchen trends demonstrate that consumers are attempting to make their home kitchens a more green space.
When it comes to eco-friendly kitchen products, most consumers opt for simple things that help to reduce their environmental impact. For instance, the German-based business Redecker recently debuted a lineup of sustainable cooking utensils made from olive wood. Another simple, yet eco-friendly offering is Caraway's new range of non-toxic bakeware, which boasts thoughtful design and eye-catching colorways.
Of course, the October 2021 kitchen trends also reveal some more extreme eco-friendly kitchen products. For example, the MYC Grill is a sustainable grill made from mycelium, a vegetative part of a fungus. After cooking your meal, you can actually cut up the grill and fertilize the earth with its remains.
