Why Zero Waste?
Zero waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary. It is also achievable. If we all try to make small changes to our lifestyles and practices, including using less single use packaging and products, we can start our collective journey towards a more sustainable future, reducing the need for recycling and waste going to landfill and our oceans. Shopping in your local, independent Zero Waste store is also fun, sociable and will contribute towards a sense of community.
How
It Works
It's very simple and with a little planning, you can easily make the change. Just bring in your empty container for refilling or purchase our re-useable cotton bags or glass jars. In store you can weigh your container, fill, weigh again and label for us to charge at the till. We will always be on hand to help you or fill your containers for you if you prefer.
We also stock a range of plastic free and ethically sourced household and beauty items plus sustainable toys and gifts.
