Bails: My plastic free journey

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!

Bails has been shopping with us from when we first started! He first came to the van for refills when we used to visit Newquay Community Orchard. When we switched to home deliveries for the Newquay area Bails carried on supporting us and switched to receiving a monthly plastic free home delivery. Here’s his story:

I was inspired to start refill shopping by David Attenborough! My advice to anyone thinking about starting refill shopping is just to go for it - that’s what I did and I’ve enjoyed 5 years of reducing my plastic waste! All you need is a bit of organisation but once you get into the routine it’s easy. My favourite item from the van has to be medjool dates - Jack and Gemma introduced me to them and now they’re my daily treat!
