The right organizing product can make all the difference in the world. Seriously – all the difference in the world. You can minimize your carbon footprint by choosing an eco-friendly product or reusing what you already have. While we do use plastic products at Abundance Organizing, we make an effort to incorporate sustainable organizing products. In fact, we have even made a promise to use less than 25% plastic by 2025. Here are ten of our most favorite eco-friendly organizing products sourced from bamboo, glass, and wood:
Bamboo Drawer Organizers
- Bamboo drawer organizers work great in different sizes of drawers because they are spring loaded and flexible.
- Made from renewable materials, bamboo drawer dividers are wonderful for keeping utensils and other kitchen items in their place.
- We recommend the deep drawer organizers for use in drawers with clothes, undergarments, or linens.

Spice Jars
- The beauty of a spice cabinet or drawer with uniform glass jars is that the jars are all the same size and there is not a mismatch of containers of different shapes, colors, and sizes.
- Having uniform glass jars also allows you to buy fresh and bulk spices so that you can leave the extra plastic out of your home.
- While decanting spices is a little bit of work, we definitely think the reward outweighs the time investment. Here are tips for organizing your spices.
