There's so much to choose from at The Wasteless Pantry" margin="5" border="1" link="http://www.weekendnotes.com/im/000/00/the-wasteless-pantry-bassendean1.jpg" wrap="0"]
is an eco-friendly store devoted to helping people reduce plastic waste and the amount of rubbish that ends up in their bins by encouraging them to reuse old containers and to purchase only what they need.
The Wasteless Pantry is located at shop 15, Hawaiian's Bassendean Shopping Centre, 2 West Rd, in Bassendean. It opened in September 2018. It is open Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 6pm, Saturdays from 9am to 5pm, Sundays from 11am to 5pm and it is closed on Public Holidays and Easter Sunday.
is part of a growing franchise of eco-friendly stores devoted to reducing plastic waste.
The Wasteless Pantry sells a huge range of bulk groceries, cleaning products, personal hygiene products, reusable containers and eco-friendly and zero waste products. How it works is you can bring your own container to the store from home or you could select a free glass container available in the store. The free containers are donated to the shop, washed, stripped of all labels and kept in a basket at the front of the store.
The idea is to weigh your container on a set of scales in the store and then write the weight on it on some tape. Once you've done that, you can go shopping. After you've filled your container, the next step is to go to the checkout, where they will weigh it again and then calculate the total minus the weight of the container. It's a simple process.

The Wasteless Pantry is a great place to do your grocery shopping. They have a huge range of dry and liquid foods to choose from. The walls are lined with jars and dispensers filled with things like pasta, rice, cereal and confectionery and there is a section with different kinds of stock, gravy, sugars, baking ingredients, cooking oils and much more. In addition to groceries, they also sell shampoo, conditioner, dishwashing liquid and other cleaning supplies.
I shop at the Wasteless Pantry on a regular basis to pick up all sorts of things like spaghetti, rice, soy chips, coconut rough, shampoo, conditioner and cooking oil. We shop there so often we've started to keep a collection of glass jars and containers in the boot of our car, so we can bring our own into the store instead of having to pick up a donated jar each time.
The Wasteless Pantry doesn't just sell groceries and cleaning products. They also have a big selection of eco-friendly and waste-free products. They have shampoo designed like bricks of soap, fabric bowl covers, beeswax wraps, wooden cutlery, re-useable shopping bags, fabric dishcloths, metal lunch boxes, metal straws, metal bottles with pump dispensers and personal hygiene products like menstrual cups and reusable menstrual cloth pads.
I find these sorts of products really interesting. It's encouraging to see some of the things that people are coming up with to help fight climate change. Shopping at the Wasteless Pantry over the past couple of months has encouraged me to pick up some fabric dishcloths, metal straws, beeswax wraps, wooden cutlery, and three metal bottles with pump dispensers to use at home for shampoo, conditioner and dishwashing liquid. I actually find it fun buying stuff to help the environment and reduce plastic waste now. How weird is that?
