The Future of Packaging-Less Shopping
Are you ready to join the green revolution? If you care about the environment then you can refill and re-use to reduce packaging, save money and reduce waste. Eco-friendly refillable products are the best choice for our health and the planet. Household cleaning products, personal toiletries, bamboo toilet rolls and dried pantry staples such as fruit &nuts, pulses and bread flour are all just a mouse-click away. And, why not sign up to a community growers box scheme and have fresh, locally-grown, vegetable, fruit, eggs and bread delivered straight to your door? Dairies are doing their bit too, with milk and fruit juice deliveries in returnable glass bottles available once again in our towns and rural villages. Shop with ethical suppliers and support local businesses that share your vision of a greener future. You’ll find plenty of ideas below.
