Shop the Bulk Section with Reusable Produce + Bulk Bin Bags

Eco-friendly shopping is easy and convenient when you come prepared! Always carry a set of reusable produce bags with you, one for fruits and vegetables with thick skins and another for leafy greens and thin-skinned produce, as well as bulk items like oats, rice, nuts, and seeds. Both types of bags are easy to clean, simply pop them in the laundry after several uses.

Another handy item to bring with you is a paper coffee bag, which is typically reusable and compostable. These bags come in handy when you need to purchase one more bulk item but have already used up all your reusable bags.

To take your zero waste efforts to the next level, try to purchase bags from local and small shops such as general stores, farms, farmers markets, and independent natural food stores. Support your community while also reducing your environmental impact.

Remember to make the most of your food purchases by eating everything you buy and composting any scraps. You can also use vegetable scraps to make a flavorful broth before composting. And, when it comes to reusable products, treat them with care and use them again and again until they are no longer usable. Avoid buying more than you need or upgrading to something you think is better, as this defeats the purpose of using reusable products.
