Welcome to The Good Bits

A culinary sustainability campaign, helping you #PlasticWisely
Did you know? Up to 85% of kitchen plastic waste is not recycled. Simply, because they weren’t cleaned before disposal.

We’ve started a unique, zero-waste campaign that not only helps you make the most of your kitchen plastic leftovers but also encourages a simple yet impactful habit: rinsing plastic containers before disposal. We’ve created delicious recipes that make use of the last bits from your kitchen plastic containers.
