FAQs
What is sustainability?
Sustainability means meeting our individual needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Here at Simplify this means acting with empathy. We encourage everyone to look at their environmental impact in the short and long term. From there we can all find ways to enact environmental and social change.
What is zero waste?
Zero waste is a philosophy that aims to send nothing to the landfill. How can we do this?
It may not be as simple as reduce, reuse, recycle but at Simplify we try to make it easy. You can make a change by choosing products with less packaging, avoiding single use products, reusing what you can, and recycling wherever possible.
Many products at Simplify are zero waste. We strive to reduce packaging and introduce eco friendly products wherever we can. To learn more about zero waste check out this great resource.
What are bulk refills?
Instead of sending more containers and packaging to the landfill, you can refill your container with your favourite products – in bulk. This is a great way to contribute to a zero waste lifestyle.
