In the case of zero waste, there’s a conflict between what typically makes money for a retail business on the one hand, and the goals of a zero waste lifestyle, on the other.. If you’re serious about reducing the waste you generate, you’re not looking to buy a steady stream of new products, which most businesses rely on. I do believe most people in Corporate America set out to provide a solid product or service for their customers. But since corporations exist in order to generate a profit, priorities inevitably get shuffled around.
Our founders chose to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) instead of a corporation. This has allowed us to concentrate on our mission first, without having to concentrate primarily on generating profit for stakeholders.We enjoy offering innovative new products that make it easier to reuse or refill. But our greatest joy is in helping people get out of the consumerist “disposables” mindset.
