Got leftovers from yesterday’s major party to store away in your refrigerator? Before you reach out to that roll of cling wrap or box of resealable plastic bags, rethink that small (yet important) step by opting for greener alternatives.

Instead of cling-wrapping bowls of food, why not transfer food into hardy food containers that you can wash and reuse for another time? Every step is crucial in ending the #plasticpollution that’s plaguing our planet – especially our oceans. Below, opt for sustainable food storage methods from UK, USA and Japan:
