Durban shop's innovative way of achieving zero waste
Durban - Wouldn’t that make life easier than having a waste bin filled with plastics and non-recyclable wraps that will end up on the beaches, harming the environment?The danger of plastic pollution is receiving more international attention, and many outlets in and around Durban promote no-waste shopping.
“This is not new, we are just going back to how things used to be,” said Leane Hendrick, House of Bravo’s owner. “All the products are stored in glass and customers are not given plastic bags but help themselves using their own containers, or they can buy compostable or reusable ones at the shop,” said Kim Drennan, the co-founder and co-owner of the store.Drennan co-owns the shop with five friends: Jenny Thomson, Nicole Benders, Phillip Botha and Charlene Udal.
“We started eliminating use of plastics in our homes before we could coax our consumers into living without plastic,” said Drennan.They told Independent on Saturday that their challenge was to get suppliers willing to supply goods without plastic packaging.
