How the zero-waste industry is booming in Colchester
COLCHESTER is seeing a boom in zero-waste shops as customers seek to cut down on waste to save the planet. At the shops, customers take their own containers and buy just as much as they need from the dispenser so there are savings in terms of both packaging and no food waste. The containers are then weighed which calculates the price of your shopping. Three shops have sprung up in the Colchester area in recent months with advocates for the system saying the town is on trend - becoming “a bit more eco”.
