About The Zero Waste List

We are sustainability-minded individuals trying to make sustainability and zero waste a more approachable and achievable goal. Our mission is to help others reduce their impact on the environment through the use of more sustainable, plastic-free products, easy-to-execute lifestyle changes, and the support of organizations that support a greener world. Along the way we highlight the zero waste companies actually walking the talk, so you can vote with your wallet.

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”

Anne Marie Bonneau

Even if you don’t know where to start, make that leap to do something — however small — to reduce your waste, energy usage, or carbon footprint. Starting with something small creates a snowball effect that can pay dividends for your life and the planet.
