Plastic Free July

Join us for a month of challenges, tips, and discounts in honor of Plastic Free July and our 6th birthday!

Every year, the US produces 40 million tons of plastic waste. Less than 8% is recycled.

This Plastic Free July, join us and 100 million+ other people around the world in fighting plastic pollution.

This year, we’re challenging you to set yourself up for a waste-free month.

Whether it’s a body product with ‘naked’ packaging, or swapping plastic wrap for reusable food storage, consider what you need to help make plastic-free habits stick.

And each week we’ll pick 2 orders to receive 100% money back!

Just let us know what you purchased that week and how it will help you reduce your plastic waste. Share on Instagram and tag @zerowastestore or via email [email protected] for the chance to win a full refund!

Make sure you sign up for emails to follow along!

Pssst. Did you know this July is also our ZeroWasteStore’s 6th birthday? Even more reason to celebrate! Keep an eye out for our BIG BIRTHDAY BASH SALE on the 19th-23rd.

What is Plastic Free July?

Plastic Free July is a global movement that brings people together to be part of the solution to plastic pollution. Over the last 5 years, participants have collectively avoided 10 billion kgs of waste - that’s around 50,000 blue whales!

This year’s theme is small steps, big difference. As a company dedicated to making sustainable choices simple and accessible, we’re super excited to get involved.

Our plastic-free promise is about the small commitments we can all take each week, to build habits that make a big difference in the long run – are you ready to get started?

Beyond July...

The biggest challenge of Plastic-free July is to make your promises last for the rest of the year. Here are our top tips for making habits stick:

  • Start small: make one small Plastic Free Promise each week to add-up over time.
  • Set SMART goals: make sure your promises are Specific, Measurable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. For example: ‘‘I promise to reduce my plastic waste at work by bringing food in a reusable container at least 4 days a week’’.
  • Remember your ‘why’: read up on plastic pollution to stay motivated.
