Packaging

ZWBF was set up because fundamentally, we believe we would not be in this waste crisis if businesses were responsible for the packaging they use.

Our food is sent in packaging that you return using pre-paid post. 

Whilst we've sent thousands of orders, we still consider our solution to be it a work in progress!

95% of our packaging was saved from landfill when we acquired Inn Zero Waste.

We are in the mist of developing our next generation of packaging so if you have any comments, thoughts or feedback please get in touch. 

Our Reusable Grocery Bags

Our groceries are sent in fabric bags, that a local dry cleaner machine washes to a food safe standard for reuse.

Our packs are then transported via cargo bike to minimise our carbon footprint.

For powders (like flour and spice) we use compostable Kraft paper bags otherwise too much powder is lost through the fabric. This is an area of focus for our next generation of reusable grocery bags

Reusable Pouches For Liquid

Our oils are sent in plastic pouches that we store on your behalf for your next order. We are also in the process of developing a system to wash these.

Sending Your Order

We use cardboard boxes to send your order, secured with recyclable Kraft paper tape.

Where possible, we reuse boxes and sacks. Please rest assured we are conscious about hygiene and allergens when we do so.

Would You Prefer To Receive Your Items in Paper? 

You're not alone! Please just pop this in the comments section at checkout. Oily foods such as dried fruits, nuts, tea etc will seep some oil into the bags but if you don't mind, then we are more than happy to pack in paper.

Using Your Own Containers

Whilst we're not set up for self-service, you are welcome to collect your order and we will fill your containers in the shop.

Just leave a comment at checkout, along with your phone number, and we'll be in touch to arrange a convenient time. 

You're also welcome to have a nosy around the warehouse. It's like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for foodies!
