I’ve been eating soup since I was a kid. My mother would make a big pot of soup, and we’d eat it for lunch for days on end. It’s one of my favourite things to eat—I just wish it came in a better bowl! While I’m happy to use conventional bowls made out of recycled plastic or even glass, there are also some amazing eco-friendly bowls out there. They are just as durable as their mainstream counterparts.
Plus, they often come from materials sourced from sustainable farms around the world. You can feel good about your purchase while enjoying your lunchtime meal.
We use bowls all the time.
Although we don’t consciously think about them, bowls are an essential part of our lives. We use them at home, in restaurants and cafes—even at school or work when we have soup as a meal.
Even though you probably don’t give it much thought daily, there are all sorts of factors that go into making a good bowl! It needs to be durable enough for repeated use but also lightweight so you can carry it around with ease. It should also look nice whether you’re eating alone or sharing with friends and family members.
Most important of all is how well the bowl holds up over time (especially if your soup isn’t exactly hot). This means choosing materials that are not damaged by exposure to outside weather conditions like rain or snow.
Buy bowls made out of sustainable materials.
When you’re going to buy a bowl to eat soup in, consider the materials. You want something sustainable and eco-friendly. This includes bamboo bowls, recycled glass bowls, and recycled paper bowls. Bamboo is one of the most bio-diverse plants on earth, so it’s great for our environment when it’s used to make a bowl. Recycled materials are also good because they reduce waste production and pollution caused by manufacturing processes.
If you’re looking for something more decorative or ornate than a simple bowl made from natural fibres like wood or metal, go for one made from recycled glass instead of plastic since glass is generally more durable than plastic.
Get creative with bowls made out of upcycled materials.
There are two main ways to get creative with bowls that come out of upcycled materials. The first is to buy new bowls that have been previously used, such as a bowl that you’ve had for years, but never use anymore; or a bowl that you once used as a vase and now just sits around the house. The second way is to save up your old stuff and make your own! If you’re going with the latter option then here’s what you need to know:
When buying new/old materials, look for things like tin cans, glass bottles, and jars (which can be found at most thrift stores), ceramics from china sets, or plates from your grandmother’s cabinet (the best place ever). These things all make great bowls because they’re sturdy enough not to break easily and come in tons of different shapes and sizes—and who doesn’t want an excuse to use their grandma’s china?
You’ll also want something sturdy on hand as well—like a hot glue gun or some other kind of adhesive—so that when glueing everything together it stays put instead of falling apart when touched. This step can help create stronger bonds between pieces during assembly too so keep it handy!
Once you’ve found what works best for whatever project it might be time to start layering both sides carefully before finally brushing overtop with some sealer such as Mod Podge which will prevent moisture damage later down the road if exposed directly after drying.
Invest in an affordable set of durable bowls.
Buying durable and eco-friendly bowls is one of the best ways to save money while eating a healthy diet. You can buy a set of bowls for less than $10, which is less than the expensive eco-friendly options.
A good bowl will come out of either ceramic or stainless steel. Ceramic bowls are more durable but they break easily. Stainless steel is much more robust, but it doesn’t have as many health benefits as ceramic does. If you decide to go with ceramic, make sure that your choice has a “microwave safe” mark. Make sure you can use it in your microwave oven without worrying about damaging it!
Here are some options you might want to buy:
