Package, Return, Repeat: The Re-Zip Packaging Revolution

Welcome back GFZ’s!

Ever opened a delivery, held the packaging for all of five seconds, and immediately wondered what bin it belongs in? But what if there was a better way and packaging didn’t have to be single-use at all?

Enter Re-Zip, the game-changer in the e-commerce world. Their mission? To kick single-use packaging to the curb and replace it with a sleek, circular system that benefits customers, web stores, and the planet alike.

The Re-Zip Loop: How It Works...

Instead of the usual pile of paper or plastic waste that arrives with your online orders, Re-Zip offers reusable packaging at checkout. After your package arrives, you simply collapse it, find your nearest 'Drop Point' via the Re-Zip app, and scan it to return. As a thank-you from the planet, you’ll even score a reward.

From there, the Re-Zip system takes over—guiding the packaging to a cleaning hub, prepping it for its next journey, and sending it back into circulation again and again and again. Genius, right?

Re-Zip is currently available only in the UK and parts of Europe, but we can't wait for it to land in Australia asap!

At Go For Zero: The Packaging Revolution Continues

We’re quite literally obsessed with making product packaging as sustainable as possible, it’s a huge WHY behind our brand. But we also take it one step further—we stock countless products without any packaging at all. That’s right, completely naked. We believe in giving you the choice to go zero-packaging whenever possible. And for products that do require packaging? We meticulously follow sustainability criteria:

• Home Compostable: FSC-certified paper, cellulose film (only the certified home compostable kind!), and materials that **literally feed back into the earth.**
• Infinitely Recyclable: We choose **aluminium and glass** because they can be recycled endlessly without losing quality (unlike plastic, which degrades after one or two rounds).
• Refillable Options:We offer refills for everything from cleaning products to skincare, so you can reuse your containers or small parts like pumps and lids instead of creating waste.

What about recycled plastic? Unlike other eco-stores, we steer away from recycled plastic products. Why? Because plastic can only be down-cycled and not truly recycled. It also leaches more microplastics... Learn more here.

We love what Re-Zip is doing because it aligns perfectly with our mission.

Let's hope that the days of disposable packaging are numbered. Companies like Re-Zip are proving that we can keep materials in circulation, reduce waste, and reward customers for doing the right thing.

And if you’re shopping with us? Well, you already know we’re doing everything we can to make waste-free shopping your new normal.

Let’s keep making the planet proud. If you loved this week's story, you'll love this one here too about Gloves Off, Waste Down: NSW Hospitals Take a Sustainable Step Forward, it's a goodie!
