zero-waste educated staff to answer questions, hosting events and pop-ups, having all of the store necessities like tags and shelving upcycled, and offering a “bulk bar” where customers can purchase all of their beauty and skincare needs in one place without an excess of packaging. Customers can recycle a multitude of products at their physical locations. While Package Free recycles the more mainstream products like empty plastic bottles from beauty and cleaning products, they also accept some unconventional items as well. Old home phones and VCR players don’t have to be thrown out with the garbage, and air and water filters can find a
new life no matter how dirty. Even used toothbrushes and empty toothpaste tubes are all welcome. Whether you’re a veteran zero-waster who’s looking for a one-stop-shop for all your zero-waste needs, someone who substitutes more eco-friendly options where they see fit, or someone who is just now getting into the zero-waste movement, Package Free is the place to go to find affordable, eco-friendly alternatives to common one-use and un-recyclable products.
