An Innovative Way to Reduce Your Plastic Consumption

The Soap Dispensary in Vancouver, Canada is a new shop filled with lovely soaps, shampoos, washing up liquids, laundry soap, floor cleaner, bicarbonate of soda, oh the list goes on and on! Sounds like a normal shop right? Wrong. The Soap Dispensary only sells you the product, not all the plastic that comes with it. Everything here is in giant containers, ready to refill your bottles, jars and tins.

With so much energy going into producing and transporting containers, stores like this are really helping to reduce our plastic consumption.  You can take your bottles back time and time again, making single-use plastic a thing of the past!

If you like the sound of this, then you’ll love Unpackaged and ingredients. These two shops sell you all the food you need, but without any of the packaging.

Brilliant!
