FAQs

As defined in Wikipedia,

Zero waste is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills, incinerators or the ocean. Currently, only 9% of plastic is actually recycled. In a zero waste system, material will be reused until the optimum level of consumption

 

• How does ecoSansar help in going zerowaste?

At ecoSansar, we take back the packaging in which we home deliver your order. These packagings are then washed, sterilised and refilled for another order. This creates a circular chain which ensures no waste is generated through your consumption.

You get to shop for great quality organic and sustainable products in a zerowaste manner at ecoSansar. That way you also directly then contribute to pesticide free farming, better soil health, water conservation, well taken care of staff and natural products that do not harm the environment and you.

 

 

 

• Isnt paper bags ecofriendly? Why take the trouble of returning containers and reusing?

Paper bags also require immense resources to make and have a high carbon footprint. We at ecoSansar believe that products that use nonrenewable resources like trees, soil and clean water should carry premium charges. We also believe that it is criminal to use any product just once considering the amount of resources, time and energy is spent in making them.
