New Sustainable Platform Wasteless Market Launches

A brand new sustainable marketplace has launched in the UK, bringing together ethical vendors from around the country to fight climate change and single-use plastic.

Wasteless Market is a complete online retail destination with hundreds of eco-friendly products including groceries, cleaning products, beauty and wellness treats, pet essentials, clothing and accessories plus books, crafts, travel items and school supplies. The multi-vendor marketplace gives the country’s sustainable businesses a platform to sell and grow, while helping shoppers to access climate-friendly essentials with plastic free shipping.

Teresa Ewart, Founder of Wasteless Market said, “We are overjoyed to open the doors to our brand new online shopping platform. We feel that there has never been a better time than right now for a sustainable online marketplace, with consumer habits changing, and a growing awareness of the climate crisis.

“Wasteless Market is unique – we’ve carefully curated the country’s best independent, sustainable businesses who are committed to creating products that directly tackle climate change, with 100% plastic-free shipping as standard.

“Our vendors are all small businesses that champion eco-friendly processes such as upcycling, composting, biodegradable materials, carbon-neutral manufacturing, recycling, ethical sourcing, and slow fashion. Our shoppers can find beautiful, indulgent, yet accessible products such as handmade soaps and luxury chocolates along with everyday essentials such as laundry detergent, food storage, and cookware.”

The launch of the sustainable marketplace comes as a new study[1] finds that the COVID-19 lockdown has had a ‘negligible’ impact on the earth’s temperature, but did see emissions and air pollution fall. If normal levels resume, the earth’s temperature could increase by 1.5°C by 2050. NASA’s global climate change portal attributes the increase to human activity and says that it leads to warmer oceans, melting ice sheets, rising sea levels and glacial ice retreats and extreme events such as intense rain.

Ms Ewart adds, “We know that now is the time to take action and we’re encouraged that as a result of the pandemic, there has been a growing awareness of the need to be greener. It’s great to see people talking about reducing food waste, walking more, cycling more and driving less. Wasteless Market is incredibly relevant to that and offers a dedicated, convenient platform for families who want to be more sustainable and reduce single-use plastic.”
