Baby Food Pouch

Waste-Free with Kate & Co. on pouches:

"This is actually a very new wastestream that councils have to deal with. When you think about it, if you were feeding your baby full time with food pouches, you may go through 3 pouches per day. That is 1095 pouches per year for one baby. 

Where as if you brought your food in bulk or even better, made it yourself and stored it in reusable containers in the freezer, you would save a huge amount of money and reduce a massive amount of un-necessary packaging waste from ending up in a landfill."

Kate's webpage offers sources for reusable pouches, some with great recipes too.

Reduce single-use food pouches by purchasing refillable ones, or use other containers which can be washed and reused.

Some baby food pouches can be recycled through the Soft Plastics Recycling programme. However this is not active in the Whanganui region yet.

These do not biodegrade easily in landfill.
