THE PROBLEM
Plastics Don’t Belong in Your Food
Most kitchenware releases microplastics into your food (and your body).
What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny fragments of plastic that form as synthetic materials break down. Growing research shows they’re everywhere—from the environment to our bodies.

Are all Caraway products 100% plastic-free?
While the vast majority of Caraway products are entirely plastic-free, a select few—such as our Knife handles, Dot and Dash Containers, and Storage Organizers—contain minimal, BPA-free plastic. We design every product intentionally, ensuring plastic is used sparingly, only when necessary, and always in a food-safe manner that does not expose you or your food to microplastics when used as intended.
Do traditional non-stick pans release microplastics?
Yes. Traditional non-stick coatings, like PTFE, are made from synthetic materials that shed microplastics when scratched or worn down—just like other plastic products. Studies estimate that a single scratch on a PTFE-coated pan can release over 9,000 microplastics.
What other steps can I take to reduce microplastics?
To reduce microplastics in your home, consider eliminating common sources such as single-use plastics (e.g., cutlery, straws, water bottles, and synthetic tea bags) and everyday items like synthetic clothing, baby bottles, and polyester sheets. Even your tap water can contain microplastics. Make the switch to plastic-free household essentials, choose natural fibers for clothing, bedding, and textiles, and invest in air and water filters to further reduce exposure. These simple changes can help minimize the presence of microplastics in your environment.
