About Zero Waste Outlet
Zero Waste Outlet is a family-owned shop in Washington state run by Brian and Beth. The idea started with an oversized delivery: a small item buried in a giant box, padded with plastic that did nothing useful. The company now sells its own line of plastic-free kitchen and bathroom basics, like coconut-fiber brushes, bamboo soap dishes and plant-fiber sponges, alongside products from other small brands. Its stated mission is to make zero-waste products available to American households at a reasonable cost, and it says it ships every order in minimal, eco-friendly packaging. It does not list third-party certifications, and it says it sources overseas only when an affordable option is not available in the US.
