Susheela: My plastic free journey

June 30, 2021/ Gemma Brocklebank

Meeting our customers is one of the best parts of our jobs! We are always inspired by their efforts to go plastic free and love hearing their journeys of how they came to start shopping plastic free and we thought you might do too! It is always inspiring to hear from others and in this brave new world of zero waste and plastic free its great to pick up hints and tips from each other and feel part of a wider community that together will make great change!

Susheela uses our delivery service to the Perranarworthal area, here’s her story:

When I started shopping with Incredible Bulk I was impressed by the good range of products and also loved the convenience of their home delivery service. My favourite item from the van are the dried figs that I put in my morning breakfast!
My top tip for anyone looking to start shopping package free is to start saving jars and tubs so you have plenty of storage containers available, having different sizes is really handy too! Another thing we have started doing is to make our own ice lollies for our children (seen in this picture!) to avoid buying icepops with single use plastic from the local shop. We use an ice lollie set from Aldi!
