OXO Housewares

With a mission to “Make everyday better, every day,” OXO (pronounced ahk-so) offers simple, sustainable housewares that they design and test with painstaking care. The company’s revolutionary first product, a vegetable peeler, included a rubber grip that made peeling safer and easier. Our Marketplace Editor has relied on their food storage containers, POP canisters, mixing bowls, and peelers for years without needing replacements. Since 2020, OXO has donated a portion of profits to Big Green, an organization that helps bring the benefits of gardening to schools and homes across the country. 1% for the Planet has nominated OXO and Big Green for its Summit Partnership Award. We do wish that OXO used less plastic in their products and especially in their packaging. However, we appreciate their clear goals for reducing emissions and that they always make products designed to last.
