Here is a list of local packaging-free shops and zero waste projects across the UK.

There are many shops throughout the UK that will allow you refill your own bags and containers, saving on food and packaging waste, but many of them are shy and won’t shout about what they do. So The ZeroWaster has done the hard work for you, and presents you with this guide. Just bring your own bags or containers, and fill with as much or as little as you need. I recommend calling first if you’re looking for something specific.

If you’re starting out on your zero waste journey, I’ve written a guide to what you’ll need, and what not to buy. There’s also How to Go Zero Waste in 5 Steps, How to Reduce Your Plastic Waste Without Going Insane and ‘Do We Really Need to Avoid Plastic?’

If you are looking to get your shop or project added to the list, please read the FAQs.
