Who Are We?

One month without plastic, a challenge that has turned our lives upside down. It turned out to be almost impossible to avoid plastic, everything is packaged in or made of plastic. Pasta, nuts, vegetables, fruit, muesli and even 'cardboard' drink cartons contain plastic. But also non-food products such as razors, cotton buds, toothbrushes and coffee-to-go cups. A society full of plastic. Surely there must be another way?

This is how Zo Zero came into being,  an online store for #zeroplastic and #zerowaste products.  Born from the ambition to reduce the use of disposable plastic items and help others do the same.  We believe it should be easy to produce as little waste as possible and avoid plastic.

What is our mission?

Break free from plastic!

What is the problem?

Researchers estimate that 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s. Of this, 6.3 billion tons have ended up as waste up to 2015, only 9% have been recycled and 12% have been incinerated. The remaining 79% is either in overflowing landfills or in the environment.

Every year, between 5 and 13 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea. It takes almost 400 years for plastic to decompose. Marine animals, from plankton to whales, eat plastic, our waste. If we continue like this, by 2050 there will be 12 billion tons of plastic in landfills and in nature and the sea will contain more plastic than fish.

What Do We Do?

A lot of plastic is used to make disposable items such as plastic bags, drink bottles and packaging for our food, which end up as waste after one use.

Zo Zero creates awareness and shows that things can be done differently. Not only through the products we sell, but also by sharing tips and information via our newsletter and social media. Zo Zero makes it easier for you to find alternatives for 'single-use' plastic and to reduce your waste consumption.

What Can You Do?

Can one person make a difference? We see it this way: if everyone stopped using straws, that would save an average of 1.6 straws per person per day. That's almost 600 straws per person per year.'Improve the world, start with yourself', hIt may be a cliché, but it's a cliché for a reason. Try to avoid 'single-use' plastic products, such as plastic bags and packaging, and shop plastic-free. Zo Zero helps you with that!
