These spaces don’t generate regular waste but the choices we make while setting them up contribute to waste in the long term. Natural Biodegradable materials are not just waste free but also reduce indoor pollution caused by emssion of Volatile organic componds(VOCs) from furniture, paints etc.

Bathroom doesn't heap up your waste bins, the way kitchen does. Waste from bathrooms is mainly from packaging. A more responsible attitude towards toiletries consumption can eliminate the waste coming from the bathroom.As we discussed above, reinventing the whole bathroom consumables at once might seem a bit daunting and therefore we will start with something easy i.e. reducing the consumption.

The kind and quantity of waste generated can be easily sorted and minimized if we trace it back to the source. We don’t expect you to change it all at once and impose stringent zero waste rules on your families. Rather aim at first streamlining our present day lifestyles in order to reduce consumption.

Planetous has tried to simplify this journey through this planned guide by organizing zero waste practices on the basis of ease to keep you motivated to achieve the goal.

The whole concept of going zero waste is quite exhausting. For a family that empties out a bin or two of waste each day, going zero waste is like a utopian scheme. Some even feel that the waste they shell out will have to stink up their homes. But it’s not so! Just like the Rome was not built in a day, you can’t simply go from a hoarder to a minimalist in a day. Drastically changing lifestyle is not sustainable and might end up in quitting the motive at all.Therefore, we have chalked out four simple steps to begin with:
