Zero Waste Retail

@Polina Tankilevitch

Zero Waste shops reduce the packaging to the strictly essential, provide products with more sustainable packaging materials or eliminate packaging altogether. The customers use their own reusable containers when shopping. This type of store usually also incorporates other sustainable practices, such as sourcing organic or local products. It is estimated that each one of these stores avoid, on average, 1 tonne of packaging per year.
