How Unscrew-it! Is Redefining Sustainability in Everyday Products
At Unscrew-it!, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our mission is simple but powerful: design products that reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and make sustainable living easier for everyone. Our patented two-sided peanut butter jar was born from that vision — an innovative solution to a wasteful problem in millions of homes.
In a world increasingly concerned with climate change, plastic pollution, and resource overuse, we believe good design can drive real, positive change. Unscrew-it! represents a smarter way to consume — without compromising convenience, value, or performance.
Recycled Packaging with a Purpose
From day one, we made a deliberate choice to use 100% recycled materials for all our jars and packaging. Why? Because packaging waste is one of the biggest contributors to global plastic pollution. Most food containers are made from virgin plastic, which not only requires fossil fuels to produce but also adds to the growing burden on our landfills and oceans.
Unscrew-it! fights back against this trend. Our packaging is not only made from post-consumer recycled plastic, but it’s also fully recyclable again, contributing to a true circular economy. This reduces the demand for new plastic, cuts greenhouse gas emissions, and keeps valuable materials out of the waste stream. Each jar you use helps shrink your carbon footprint and supports a more responsible consumption model.
Ending the Era of Food Waste
How many times have you tossed a jar with food still stuck inside? Whether it’s peanut butter, jam, hummus, or sauce — traditional jars are inefficient. They make it nearly impossible to retrieve every last bit of product, resulting in avoidable food waste and lost value for consumers.
That’s why Unscrew-it! features a patented dual-lid design, with openings on both the top and bottom. This simple innovation allows you to easily access everything inside, with no need to shake, scrape, or waste time. You get your money’s worth from every jar, and you significantly reduce your household’s contribution to food waste — which is a major source of methane emissions in landfills.
This small improvement in design leads to big changes in sustainability outcomes. In fact, reducing food waste is one of the top solutions for fighting climate change according to environmental experts like Project Drawdown.
A Founder’s Commitment to Sustainable Innovation
As the founder of Unscrew-it!, I didn’t set out just to create another kitchen product. I wanted to change the way we think about packaging and waste. I’ve always believed that companies have a responsibility to do better — to design products that don’t harm the planet, and to inspire others to live more mindfully.
Too many companies prioritize short-term profits and overlook the long-term damage their products cause. Mountains of single-use plastics, billions of pounds of food waste, and unchecked emissions are the result. At Unscrew-it!, we’re charting a different path — one based on eco-conscious innovation, transparency, and planet-first thinking.
Join the Movement Toward a More Sustainable Future
When you choose Unscrew-it!, you’re making more than just a purchase — you’re joining a movement. A movement of consumers who believe that sustainable products should be the norm, not the exception. You’re supporting a company that values environmental responsibility, thoughtful design, and real impact.
Every jar you use means less food in the trash, fewer plastics in the ocean, and a smarter future for the next generation. It’s a small action, but it contributes to a larger ripple of change.
Together, we can transform everyday habits into eco-friendly victories. Let’s reduce waste, reuse what we can, and rethink the products we use daily. Because a better jar really can help build a better planet — one lid at a time.
This rocks!
