6 Low-Waste Essentials To Tote Everywhere

reusable container: W & P | Ready to be the star at the cool kids’ table? Break out this sexy beast at your next picnic, post-gym nosh or Hollywood Bowl concert— then act totally chill, as if you don’t have the most exquisite food container on the block. Clearly you do. W&P’s Porter bowl is a durable is BPA-free plastic and silicone and that terra-cotta color is slaying us. Shop

reusable straw: W & P | If you’re not using a reusable straw by now, who even are you? (Says sea turtles everywhere.) But just in case you’re still getting up to speed, this metal straw set is clearly what you’ve been holding out for. Made of plated stainless steel, it is rust-proof and comes with its very own cleaning brush. Shop

reusable water bottle: w&p | Sure it’s a nod to terrazzo but we can’t deny the confetti feels and neither will you. Grabbing for your water never felt more joyous. W&P’s Porter bottle is made from durable yet lightweight glass and fitted with a protective silicone sleeve. Shop 

the reusable tumblEr: Keep CuP | You can find these on desks everywhere at TCM HQ. When we’re not using Keep Cups to sip hot adaptogen lattes we just sit and stare at them. They’re that cute. Cute-iful? Nah, just sustainable eco living perfection in full effect. BPA free; non-toxic, fully-tempered soda-lime glass, recyclable and meets osha (occupational safety and health) standards. Shop

reusable cutlery set: Urban outfitters | Portable bamboo cutlery to impress. It’s a thing. And we’re giving you the tools now. We keep these in our desks and our car, where you can find any of us inhaling our fave leafy greens to go while stuck in traffic. Comes with a fork, serrated knife, spoon, set of chopsticks with twisted ends, straw and cleaning brush, all packaged in a slim carrying pouch that fits neatly into any bag. Shop

reusable produce bag: BaggU | Buh-bye Trader Joe’s tote. Loved your kitsch irony for a beat there, but we’re leveling up. Mama’s got a brand new bag. Shop
