ARE YOU GRINDING PLASTIC INTO YOUR FOOD?

by Kaylee Townsend

Not with Oryx Desert Salt’s Ceramic Grinder Mechanism

You wouldn’t sprinkle plastic on your food – so why take the risk by choosing the wrong salt grinder? Many grinders use plastic mechanisms that wear down over time, potentially breaking or shedding microplastics into your food.

At Oryx Desert Salt, we take a different approach.  We’ve chosen long-lasting value over throw-away convenience which is why our grinders are designed with high-quality ceramic mechanisms – not plastic – ensuring a pure and consistent grind, free from contamination.

Why Ceramic, Not Plastic?
✔ Wear-resistant & durable – Plastic degrades over time and you’ll run the risk of grinding plastic onto your food. Ceramic endures and offers a continuously clean and smooth grind, every time.
✔ Long-lasting, convenient & refillable – Our ceramic grinders are designed to be refilled using our refill boxes up to 20+ times thereby reducing waste. It’s actually so much more convenient to simply refill your grinder than the throw-away-buy-a-new-grinder mindset that keeps adding to our landfill.
✔ Cost Effective, saving you money – Because our grinder mechanisms are long-lasting, by using our refill boxes, you’ll use the grinder multiple times at a much lower cost per use than if you were to buy a new grinder every time you run out – more value, less waste (in fact, Faithful to Nature sells 3kg buckets which is a big saver).

Our Plastic-free Mission

We’re on a mission to reduce plastic as much as possible, reflected in our new 100% biodegradable packaging. Our mini Travel Salt and Pepper are now available in attractive mini paper-tubes. The Oryx Desert BBQ Salt comes in a sleek, red paper-tube with a revolving shaker top. Similarly, the Oryx Desert Fine Salt shaker finds its place on the shelf in a stylish white paper-tube, also with a revolving shaker. We’re encouraging shoppers to join us in taking action to stop contributing to plastic waste.  

A Grinder That Saves Waste


In 2024 alone, Oryx Desert Salt customers saved nearly 900,000 grinders and grinder heads from landfill by choosing to #RefillNotLandfill. That’s nearly a million fewer waste items thrown away in just one year.

Instead of replacing your grinder every time it runs out, just refill it with our Salt, Black Pepper & Chilli Salt refill boxes.

Save and stop buying our grinders. You only need one.
