With a mission to eliminate plastic from kitchen and bathroom products, Roots and Hoots, recently launched in the UK, offers hundreds of common household items available for online order and local delivery.
The small team works under a simple concept: shopping for daily needs doesn't have to be wasteful. It aims to make it easier to make changes by offering a completely plastic-free selection of products, so you don't have to evaluate the packaging of every item you buy.
Roots and Hoots' answer is zero-waste packaging
Co-founder Shiv Misra points out that despite the zeitgeist surrounding sustainable actions, many companies focus solely on the recyclable aspect of packaging. While recycling is important to reuse materials already in circulation, the real long-term answer is zero-waste packaging. With this in mind, Roots & Hoots offers a completely circular way to shop for everything from cereal to sh C Level Executive List ampoo. To start the process, customers place their order. The team then packages everything in reusable bags , cans or glass, depending on the article.
Misra says: “When % of UK recycling is incinerated, switching to a reusable mindset is an obvious must. It is up to all of us, as industry leaders, to fight the myth that zero-waste shopping is an inaccessible and expensive change. If we truly believe that the time for change is now, which is indisputable, then we must change the overall consumer mindset.
“Living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go, and it's easier than we've been led to believe.”
The company currently delivers orders throughout the south of the UK, with a schedule that can be found on their website. It is delivered using an eco-friendly electric van that produces zero transportation emissions. Once the packaging is empty, the customer can schedule collection of all used containers, which are sterilized and reused for other orders.
