Zero-waste living is a tough task even for the most experienced green lifestyle enthusiasts. Thanks to the growing number of zero-waste shops, it is becoming more doable to reduce the amount of products (and the packaging) we use that inevitably end up in landfills.

Check out a few of our personal favourites for the best plastic-free shopping experience.

Refillogic

This zero-waste shop offers a wide variety of reasonably priced products. You can buy kitchen, beauty, lifestyle, and home items, which are sustainable, free of toxins, and aren't packaged in any single-use plastic.

Refillogic will deliver your order in amber glass bottles that you'll only need to rent once per product. They will pick up the empty bottle when they deliver the next batch. Doesn't this remind you of a good old milkman delivery?

Address: 140 Ewell Rd, Surbiton KT6 6HE

Vimi Eco Store

Ironically, founders of Vimi spent most of their working lives selling plastic items, but in the recent years their mindset has shifted. They have gathered knowledge and expanded their awareness to the devastating consequences of our plastic-filled lifestyles. Vimi Eco Store is the result of their awakened minds.

Vimi offers a zero-waste shopping experience, blending the line between consciousness and comfort. Items on sale are not only plastic-free, but they are produced in an ethical way, too. Also, you are free to suggest any products you'd love to see in the store, and Vimi will do their best to get those fantastic items on their shelves.

Address: 283 Watling St, Radlett WD7 7LA

Replenish Refill Store

The lovely founder of Replenish Refill Store has been a Hertford resident all her life. As the result of her love of the gorgeous town and the surrounding countryside, she decided to offer her local community the option of zero-waste shopping.

More so, the business is a Community Interest Company (CIC), meaning that the business has pledged to make 50% of the profits available for environmental projects locally, as well as sustainability projects and relevant educational workshops within the community.

Please note that the shop is temporarily closed, as they are on the look out for a new suitable location. They welcome suggestions for a new place, so feel free to reach out if you know of one.
