This month we’ve been looking at the zero waste movement. We’ve discussedwhy it’s time to start going zero waste andhow you can begin your zero waste journey. In this week’s blog post we’re going to be looking at some inspirational zero waste bloggers, the type of advice that they’re offering plus some products that you might be interested in. But first, here's a reminder about what zero waste is all about.

What zero waste is all about

The zero waste movement is essentially about living simply and creating less rubbish. It’s also about moving to a circular economy, that is an economy in which goods are not only reused, recycled and repurposed but also designed in a way that enables them to be used for as long as possible.

Understand that everything, to some extent, produces waste

Getting to a truly ‘zero waste’ lifestyle is a journey and on that journey, every step counts. Remember, there is a line and the journey towards zero waste involves understanding that almost everything to some degree or another produces waste.
