One of the greatest things in the fight against the plastic pollution problem is to reduce the amount of plastic we use. Every year 21 million tonnes of plastic flow into our oceans and the main culprit is Single-use plastic.
This is what Zero Co is all about.
They provide a reusable solution for all your personal care and home-cleaning needs – minus all the plastic waste.
Think about how much plastic you use on a daily, weekly, or worse yearly basis buying all your cleaning and personal care products. It would create quite a pile of plastic bottles.
How does Zero Co’s model work? You purchase a set of dispensers made from recycled plastic. Then you get a set of refill pouches, also made from recycled plastic. You fill your dispensers from the pouches and send the empty ones back to Zero Co. This is where the real magic happens, Zero Co. wash and reuse the pouches over and over again. Pretty cool.
Think of how many plastic bottles you will save!
Plus they use plant-based formulas that are grey water safe, vegan and cruelty-free, plus they are made in Australia. If you want to know what’s in their products they are fully transparent, you can check out their ingredients here.
So far Zero Co has removed over 6,000 kg of plastic rubbish from the ocean.
