The Best Zero Waste Gifts of 2021

Many consumers are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact and are going "zero waste" or minimizing the amount of waste they produce. This article will give you some great zero waste gift ideas that could be a perfect way to celebrate someone's birthday!


What is Zero Waste?
Zero Waste is when you do not throw anything away but instead reuse, recycle, compost, or repurpose your materials.


1) RecollectYou
We have to mention RecollectYou as number one. We remove double the carbon produced from every set of RecollectYou when purchased. In a world where tech originated carbon gets ignored, we're making a dent.


2) Reusable Ear Tips
While these sound gross, using one of these will allow you to keep your ears cleaner than ever and should prevent you from sending at least 100 Q-tips to landfill. Most come with customizable tips for better cleaning.


3) Recycled Shopping Bag
These work just like any other bag that you'd use to carry your groceries or packages home from the store. The only difference is they're not made of single use plastic (or paper!).


4) Recycled Pencil
These are made from recycled paper and lead, which can be sharpened with a hand crank. The possibilities for what you can do with these pencils is endless: draw, sketch, create the perfect color pallet, take notes in class - anything you want!
