Make choices that last

Plastic-free living

A more plastic-free everyday life isn't about replacing everything at once. It's about choosing solutions you can use again and again – wherever that fits naturally into your day. With Norgesglass jars and Norgesflaske bottles, it's easy to store food and drink in glass – whether that's breakfast in the fridge, dry goods in the cupboard, or something good to bring along on a trip.

At Norgesglasset, we believe in products that last

Glass has been part of Norwegian homes for generations. It's durable, easy to clean and can be used for many different purposes – from storing dry goods and leftovers to homemade food and drink.

When Norgesglasset was introduced in 1902, it was designed to help preserve food for later. Today, the same basic idea is still relevant: look after what you have, use your things for a long time, and choose solutions that work in everyday life.

Plastic has many useful and necessary applications. The goal isn't a life entirely without plastic – but bringing awareness to where reusable options could be an easy choice.

Three small choices for everyday life

Start the day with glass

Breakfast in a jar is easy to prep ahead. Fill a Norgesglass jar with yoghurt, granola, chia pudding or another favourite, pop it in the fridge, and take it out when you need it. The same jar can be washed and filled again for tomorrow's breakfast.

Bring order to the cupboard

Rice, pasta, nuts, oats and other dry goods store well in glass. You can see what you have, keep better track of your cupboard, and top up as jars run empty.

Take good habits with you

Fill a Norgesflaske bottle with water or a homemade drink, or bring breakfast and lunch in a Norgesglass jar. Reusable containers make it easy to bring food and drink from home – to work, the park, or the cabin.

Small choices can last a long time

A more mindful everyday life isn't built in a day. Maybe it starts with breakfast prepped the night before, a bottle you refill, or a few Norgesglass jars that find a permanent place in your cupboard.

Small choices, repeated often, can become good habits that last.
