Are you trying to make your home and the things you buy more environmentally friendly? Are you looking to cut down on the plastic you buy? Visit us at Zero Waste Torfaen, Redbrook Way, Cwmbran, NP44 3QT. Here is a list of the items you can expect to find in the shop starting with food items and further down you can find the household refills and extras.
You will notice a mix of organic and non organic options below as I am trying to cater to my community of Torfaen and all of the different reasons people may wish to shop at Zero Waste Torfaen. Whether it’s shopping local, reducing your waste, the planet, the animals, your health, affordability or a mix of all of these, I am offering a range of options. I have decided to go organic on rice and pasta as I could never come close to supermarket prices on non organic, but can be competitive to Sainsburys organic prices. There are lots of items that are far cheaper than supermarket prices however, such as herbs and spices. Come and see what’s on offer and I promise you will find lots of goodies suitable for you.
If there is anything in particular you’d like me to source, pop me a message or speak to me when you come to the shop.

Household liquid refills
Here’s some help if you’d like to estimate how much your refill will be before you come. If your empty washing up liquid bottle says 300ml, the refill will be roughly 300g so 3 x 30p = 90p. It works the same with all of the cleaning products too, so an 800ml bottle of bathroom cleaner will be 8 x 36p = £2.88. Everything is weighed so you only pay for what you take away with you.

The brands ‘Fill’, ‘Miniml’ and ‘Cole & Co’, which I have chosen to stock in the refill station is are UK manufactured, supplying circular zero waste, eco-friendly, vegan, animal cruelty free, biodegradable products. I am passionate about ensuring the whole process follows the principles of zero waste. I only accept deliveries when the driver is passing anyway and the large bulk buy containers are sent back to be refilled and are not disposed of or recycled, only reused.
