Join the Zero Waste Revolution with Bio-D
At Bio-D, we believe sustainability should be simple, affordable and accessible to all. As Zero Waste Week kicks off across the UK, there’s no better time to take a closer look at our impact on the planet and to take meaningful action at home.
Whether you’re just beginning your low-waste journey or you’re a seasoned eco-warrior, Zero Waste Week is a chance to reflect, refresh and reduce. In this post, we’re sharing how Bio-D is supporting the zero waste movement and how you can get involved too.
What is Zero Waste Week?
Zero Waste Week is a grassroots campaign that started in the UK in 2008, aimed at raising awareness around the environmental impact of waste. It runs annually during the first full week of September and encourages individuals, households, and businesses to reduce what they send to landfill.
From food scraps to single-use plastic, the campaign highlights how small daily decisions can add up to big environmental wins.
And with the UK producing over 222 million tonnes of waste each year, it’s clear we all have a role to play.
Why Zero Waste Matters
Waste isn’t just a nuisance, it’s a massive contributor to climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Landfills produce methane (a potent greenhouse gas), while oceans and wildlife suffer from plastic pollution.
By aiming for zero waste, we reduce our need for new resources, lower our carbon footprint, and help preserve the natural world for future generations. It’s about choosing reuse over refuse, repair over replace, and refill over landfill, values that are deeply embedded in everything we do at Bio-D.
How Bio-D Supports a Zero Waste Lifestyle
At Bio-D, we’ve been on a mission to make cleaning products that are not only tough on dirt but gentle on the planet. Here’s how we’re helping you clean up your routine, sustainably:
100% Recycled & Recyclable Packaging
All of our 5L and consumer bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and are fully recyclable. That means no new plastic is created, and your empties can go right back into the loop.
Refill Stations Across the UK
We support thousands of refill stores nationwide. Simply bring your empty Bio-D bottles (or any clean container) and top up your favourites, from Washing Up Liquid to Laundry Liquid, cutting down on single-use plastic waste.
Naturally Derived, Cruelty-Free Formulas
Our products are made from naturally derived, biodegradable ingredients that are vegan and cruelty-free, meaning they’re kind to your skin, your home, and the planet.
5 Easy Ways to Join Zero Waste Week at Home
Looking to get involved in Zero Waste Week? Here are 5 easy steps to get started:
Take note of what you’re throwing away most often. Is it plastic packaging? Food waste? Cleaning product bottles? Understanding your habits is the first step toward changing them.
Instead of buying new bottles every time, visit a Bio-D refill store near you. Not only will you cut down on plastic, but you’ll also save money over time.
Where possible, choose loose produce, bulk boxes, and plastic-free packaging. Bring your own bags, jars or containers.
Support companies that are transparent about their environmental policies and take action, like Bio-D. Every purchase is a vote for the world you want to live in.
Small Swaps, Big Impact
You don’t need to be perfect, zero waste is a journey, not a destination. Start small and focus on progress over perfection. Swapping out just one household product for a sustainable alternative can prevent dozens of plastic bottles from entering landfill each year.
At Bio-D, we’re committed to helping you make those swaps easy, affordable, and effective.
Celebrate Zero Waste Week with Bio-D
Zero Waste Week is the perfect time to reflect on how we can all do more to reduce waste and live more sustainably. At Bio-D, we’re proud to offer practical, everyday solutions that help make a low-waste lifestyle achievable, from refillable packaging to natural, biodegradable formulas.
If you’re new to Bio-D, there’s no better moment to explore our range of refillable, planet-friendly cleaning and laundry essentials. Every small change adds up and we’re here to help make that journey easier, one bottle at a time.
Zero Waste Week reminds us that we all have the power to make a difference. At Bio-D, we’re proud to stand alongside millions of people across the UK who are committed to reducing waste, protecting our planet and reimagining a more sustainable future.
Let’s clean up, together.
