These shops aim to reduce unnecessary waste. As a customer, you have to bring your own containers, jars or bags which you use to fill up on products at the shop, and it is usually charged by weight e.g. the gram. This helps reduce single use plastics when buying repeated purchases such as rice, pasta, nuts, cereal etc. Zero-waste shops don’t just do food and tend to sell household items that can be avoided from single use waste such as laundry detergent and washing up liquid.
