eco-friendly

Eco‑friendly pans prioritise lower‑impact materials and longer lifespans. You’ll find recycled aluminium, responsibly sourced steel and durable ceramic or sol‑gel coatings free from traditional PTFE. Packaging is reduced and often plastic‑free, and manufacturers publish repair or spares policies to extend product life in UK households. Look for credible certifications and transparent material lists. Gentle, low‑energy care—like handwashing in warm water and avoiding high flames—extends usability. Modular handles and replaceable gaskets cut waste over time. When combined with efficient hobs and lids, eco‑focused cookware reduces both water and energy use during daily cooking. For UK buyers, eco‑friendly choices support responsible kitchens without sacrificing performance, making sustainability a practical default. FAQ Q: What makes cookware eco-friendly?
