Why More People Are Ditching Plastic in the Kitchen — And What to Use Instead
In kitchens across the country, a quiet revolution is brewing — and it’s plastic-free. From conscious consumers to zero-waste warriors, people are waking up to the hidden risks of plastic, especially when it comes into contact with food and hot liquids. Whether you're just starting your non-toxic journey or deepening your eco-commitment, switching to glass is one of the most powerful steps you can take - and German-made Trendglas products are leading the way.
The Hidden Dangers of Plastic in the Kitchen
Plastic food containers, water bottles, and even kettles can leach chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and microplastics, especially when exposed to heat. These toxins may disrupt hormones, compromise immune function, and pollute the environment long after disposal. Many "BPA-free" plastics simply substitute one synthetic chemical for another - not exactly a safe trade.
Why Glass Is the Gold Standard
Glass is non-toxic, non-reactive, and endlessly reusable. It doesn't leach, stain, or hold odors and when crafted with precision, it can even withstand stovetop heat. That’s where Trendglas Jena shines. Made in Germany from high-quality borosilicate glass, each piece is designed for durability, beauty, and purity.
