A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism
Reduce, reuse, recycle urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, cradle to grave manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, waste equals food is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as biological nutrients that safely re-enter the environment or as technical nutrients that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being downcycled into low-grade uses (as most recyclables now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.Binding Type: Paperback

Works well, very adjustable
Color: 4-Pack Black (16"-30" Wide Drawers)
I love these so much. They are super low profile, which solved the problem of the last set of these that I got that were way too tall for my shallow little drawers. They do exactly the job they say, and before you say that you could just lay your spices flat, this allows for easy access to pick them up since they're at an angle. The only complication for something like this is that your spices have to be pretty uniform in size. If that's not an issue for you, then this will be a good fit. I have really struggled to organize with limited space in this kitchen, and it's little solutions like this that are simple but really make a big difference. My drawers are quite narrow in addition to being quite shallow, so I actually used this as two separate organizers instead of sliding them to fill the whole drawer, though that would also be really effective. The adjustability is really the genius of this design. I might not pay $25 to house $25 worth of spices, except there really isn't another solution in my kitchen so I'm quite grateful for these at this price!!

Perfect for Organizing Spices Without Taking Up Counter Space
Color: 4-Pack Black (16"-30" Wide Drawers)
I’ve been wanting a cleaner way to organize my spices, and these drawer inserts worked out really well. They fit nicely inside my kitchen drawer and make it so much easier to see every label at a glance instead of digging through a cabinet.
The adjustable design is helpful because you can customize the width depending on your drawer size. The metal construction feels sturdy and durable, and the racks stay in place without sliding around every time the drawer opens. I also like that the bottles don’t rattle around.
Installation was basically effortless: just place them in the drawer and arrange your spices. It instantly made the kitchen look more organized and functional. Great option if you’re trying to maximize space and declutter your countertops.

Finally, a Spice Organizer That Actually Works
Color: 4-Pack Black (16"-30" Wide Drawers)
I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting digging through messy drawers until I switched to this step shelf organizer. The tiered “stadium view” design is a life-changer. Every label is clearly visible, so I can grab what I need instantly without shuffling jars around.
The modular fit is incredibly smart. I used two racks in a smaller drawer and four in a wider one, and both setups feel perfectly customized. The ultra-low profile is another underrated feature- my drawers close smoothly without any awkward resistance or jamming.
What really impressed me is the build quality. The oil-resistant carbon steel feels solid and durable, and unlike my old bamboo organizer, it doesn’t absorb spills or odors. Cleanup is effortless - just a quick wipe and it looks brand new. The anti-slip design actually works. No more annoying clinking sounds or rolling jars when opening the drawer. Everything stays locked in place, even if you’re in a rush while cooking.
And the capacity? Incredible. I managed to organize up to 56 jars across the set, turning total chaos into a neat, professional-looking spice station. If you’re serious about upgrading your kitchen organization, this is absolutely worth it. Simple, sturdy, and surprisingly satisfying to use every day.

Very basic
Color: 4-Pack Black (16"-30" Wide Drawers)
I appreciate being able to use my extra drawer to store my spices. I wish there was a little bit more to this organizer than just the metal pieces. It was pretty easy to figure out and use, but I'm not sure it adds that much organization to the drawer. It did fit in my drawer and I appreciate the versatility and being able to size up to almost any size drawer. It seems to be well made and I don't have any concerns about it lasting for a very long time. I wish it came with jars for my spices as well so that they were all matching. Overall this is a good find but I'm not sure I would order it again.
