Silicone is durable, highly reusable, and long-lasting, which can make it an environmentally friendly alternative to single-use, disposable materials like plastic. This is because the longer a product is used, the less environmental impact it has over its lifetime.Silicone also withstands extreme temperatures from hot to cold, is microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and easy to clean, which contributes to its longevity and potential for reuse.
