Vicky: My plastic free journey

Meeting our customers is one of the best parts of our jobs! We are always inspired by their efforts to go plastic free and love hearing their journeys of how they came to start shopping plastic free and we thought you might do too! It is always inspiring to hear from others and in this brave new world of zero waste and plastic free its great to pick up hints and tips from each other and feel part of a wider community that together will make great change!

Vicky has been visiting the van in Gweek since we started and also uses our home delivery service when she can’t make it to the van so she never misses out on her refills!

Here’s her story:

I have always used health food shops but as I was trying to cut out plastic as much as possible I decided to give refill shopping a go! Buying in bulk and refilling jars where possible is a great way to shop with less impact on the planet. For anyone thinking of shopping package-free I would say just go for it! We haven’t really looked back since starting and have really noticed how much less plastic is in the house, its great!
