Recycling is something everyone does nowadays, but not as much, trying to buy less plastic containers and generate less rubbish. At home we have made some changes, trying to achieve the zero waste goal. For example, we don’t purchase bottled water anymore because we bought a jug that filters tap water; and the same with fizzy drinks, we were given a SodaStream for Christmas. We don’t get milk in bricks but powder milk and I’m getting our fruits and veggies at a local convenience store instead of at a big supermarket.

Another change we made was when I got pregnant, we invested in washable nappies. You have to wash them and hang them but, you are not wasting all those nappies impossible to recycle.

They are made with a polyurethane fabric called PUL, which I bought some of a few months ago when I needed to repair one of the night nappies. And if you get the food safe one, which is the one I got, you can use it in the kitchen to wrap stuff. So I decided to make a bowl cover for leftovers.

It is a simple project. You need a bowl to trace a circle slightly larger that we will hem with the bias tape, which will contain the elastic band.

I have used it and I love the result. The fridge doesn’t get any smells and you can use it on different containers, like a pan or a pie tray, so I will definitely be making more of these!
