Living as Zero Waste

Zero waste means not just “no waste”, but also striving for a life where resources are used efficiently. It’s about extending the lifecycle of products and minimising waste. This approach is closely linked to the circular economy, which aims to keep goods and materials in circulation for as long as possible. This can be achieved through reuse, upcycling, recycling, repair, or composting.

But how can one avoid plastic in everyday life? Just a few simple steps can make a difference. Consider reusable glass containers, using cloth bags instead of plastic bags when shopping, or visiting package-free stores. Even switching to a bamboo toothbrush can contribute to reducing plastic waste.

It’s also important to rethink our consumption behaviour. Often, it’s the everyday decisions that have the greatest impact. By prioritising quality over quantity and choosing products that are durable and sustainable, we can reduce our ecological footprint.

This is where planctons comes in. Our glasses are not made from just any material, but from 100% recycled ocean plastic. This means that with every purchase of a planctons pair of glasses, you’re not only making a fashion statement but also actively contributing to freeing our seas from plastic. With small steps, we can all help to shape a future without plastic. The Swiss company planctons is proud to take these first steps with you.
