The UseLess shop

"The Use-Less Shop" is a new retail venture by members of Zero Waste North West; a group focused on promoting and campaigning for a sustainable future for this region. The Use-Less shop will give the local community access to products that facilitate a Zero Waste lifestyle. We will sell reusable alternatives to disposable items as well as providing education and support on why and how people can produce less waste in their daily lives; Some examples are cloth wipes as an alternative to baby wipes, stainless steel razors as an alternative to disposable plastic razors and refillable shampoos and other products to reduce packaging. The shop will also create space for people to learn about ways to live more sustainably. For example repair workshops, breastfeeding support, and reusable nappy libraries.


The majority of people we come into contact with are keen to reduce pollution and help the environment but lack access to the knowledge, skills and tools to make that change; We will create access to solutions, saving people money, stop creating waste and provide healthier product choices. This will be the first shop of its kind in Northern Ireland and thepotential value to the community is huge.  


Let's work together to reduce waste and change our relationship with plastic. We don't need it and it's killing our home.
