If hearing the question “paper or plastic” or looking at all of the packaging that comes inside your next-door neighbor’s weekly Blue Apron shipment is akin to a battalion of nails digging into the surface of a chalkboard, then Brooklyn’s Package Free Shop might just be what you’ve been waiting for.

Opened by Lauren Singer of the immensely popular zero waste lifestyle blog Trash is for Tossers and the founder of organic and vegan laundry detergent Simply Co., the Package Free shop is the one-stop specialized shop that can help folks transition to a low-waste lifestyle no matter the avenue they’re looking to conquer. Opened alongside her partner and the fashion designer behind Zero Waste Daniel, Daniel Silverstein, they met after Lauren was looking to purchase a sustainably made dress for her birthday that wasn’t a potato sack made from hemp.
