Some experts point out that cold press juicing creates a significant amount of waste—the leftover pulp. It's also an extra device in the kitchen that has embodied carbon, and many use a small amount of electricity to run. If you won't use a juicer regularly, the more eco-friendly thing to do is to not buy one. Buying a second-hand juicer from eBay or Craigslist is another way to lower the environmental impact. On the other hand, juicing is a good way to use any produce that’s past its prime but still full of good nutrients. For example, wilted greens or apples that have gone a bit soft are great additions to the juicer. If you're buying a lot of juice at shops or the grocery store, making juice at home is also a good way to reduce the amount of single-use packaging in your life.
