#4: Replace Plastic with Glass
Some people may tell you the best way to reduce waste is to make everything from scratch. While that would be ideal, it isn’t practical for everyone. Most people don’t have the time or money to buy everything you need to make a homemade sauce or the space to store all the leftovers.
So what do you do instead? There’s a simple solution that doesn’t require too much effort or time. To reduce a little waste, just swap from jarred sauces that are made from plastic, and look for glass ones instead. Glass jars are reusable for a long time. You can reuse it in your own home or recycle it to make a small difference.
