How Low Can You Go?
Our target: zero packaging in the garbage
Did you know? The amount of packaging going to landfill is like 8,153 hot air balloons full of CO² emissions.
Packaging accounts for more than 23% of household waste going to landfill..
However, we can make simple changes in our habits to avoid or reduce the amount of packaging we send to landfill.
Try to choose products that use less packaging and remember to take re-usable bags out with you to avoid the need for single-use plastic bags. Consider where possible, buying in bulk, as it can save you money, packaging and transport costs.
