About Zero Waste Co
Australian Owned and Operated
Zero Waste Co is an Australian online store helping households reduce everyday waste with practical eco-friendly products. From reusable kitchen tools to plastic-free household alternatives, our goal is to make sustainable living simpler and more accessible for modern homes.
Hi! My name is Patrick and this is my story...
I had just started up an e-commerce business and one day while I was researching products I came across some eco-friendly products that I then added to my store.
They proved to be quite popular with customers so I started looking more into eco-friendly options. That is when I came across the concept of zero-waste.
As I did more research on the subject I began finding out about single-use plastic and the damage that it is doing to our environment.
I was shocked and quite honestly disturbed by what I was reading and the images of wildlife caught in plastic items that I saw. That is when I decided that I wanted to be part of the solution and not the problem and Zero Waste Co. was born.
I have four absolutely beautiful nieces and it broke my heart to think about the world that we were leaving to their generation and the potential eradication of wildlife that they may never get to see.
That is when I decided to make it my mission to do what I could, where I could to work alongside all the other people in the world that want to leave a better planet for future generations.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my story and I hope you will join me on the journey to a more sustainable future.

A cut above the rest
Zero Waste Co is a proudly Australian owned business offering eco friendly products, reusable household items and sustainable alternatives designed to help reduce everyday waste.
Why Zero Waste Co Was Created
Like many households, we noticed how quickly everyday waste can accumulate. Items such as plastic kitchen tools, disposable cleaning products and short-life household goods often need to be replaced repeatedly.
Zero Waste Co was created to offer practical solutions that help reduce that cycle. Instead of asking people to completely change their lifestyle, we focus on simple product swaps that can fit naturally into everyday routines.
Replacing common disposable items with longer-lasting alternatives can significantly reduce household waste over time while also reducing the need for constant replacement purchases.
Our Approach to Sustainable Living
We believe sustainable living should feel achievable and practical. Rather than promoting unrealistic zero-waste perfection, our focus is on progress through small everyday changes.
Many households start by replacing products they already use frequently, such as:
- kitchen utensils and cooking tools
- food storage products
- cleaning tools and cloths
- personal care and hygiene items
- plastic free household alternatives
These types of swaps can quickly reduce the number of disposable products used in daily life.
For a practical overview of common low-waste swaps, you can explore our eco friendly products in Australia guide, which explains how sustainable household products can be introduced gradually.

Helping People Reduce Waste Gradually
Reducing waste does not require dramatic lifestyle changes. The most realistic approach is to replace products gradually as they wear out and introduce reusable alternatives where they make sense.
Many people start with simple changes in their kitchen, cleaning routine or personal care products. Over time these small improvements can noticeably reduce the amount of waste generated by a household.
