We believe in progress over perfection, creating products and systems that help people cut plastic without cutting convenience. And when a community like ours starts refilling, something bigger happens: habits shift, categories evolve, and waste becomes optional.
If you’re ready to keep the momentum going, here are some smart, low-waste swaps from Australian brands who share the mission - in body care, beauty and period care.
Woohoo Body
Plastic-free pits, faces, hair. And it actually works.
Newcastle’s Woohoo Body is doing for body care what Skipper did for cleaning products: refillable, effective, beautifully low-waste.
Their playbook:
-
Cardboard push-up deodorant sticks (adiós, twisty plastic)
-
Aluminium tins built to refill forever
-
Compostable packaging + refill pouches
-
Vegan, cruelty-free, skin-loving ingredients
Translation: It works in our climate and is better for the planet. Wins all-round!
Scoop Whole Beauty
Makeup that clicks, refills, and refuses landfill
Beauty is the packaging problem we often sweep under the rug. Minis inside layers of boxes and sleeves. Scoop Whole Beauty flips that.
Everything is designed to be repurchased without the waste. What they’ve nailed:
-
Refillable mineral foundation jars
-
Reusable lipstick cases
-
Magnetic palettes you refill, not rebuy
-
Compostable where possible. Minimal ingredients everywhere.
It’s beauty that aligns with your values, not just your undertone.
Hey Zomi
Period care that doesn’t last 500 years (in landfill)
Hey Zomi’s reusable menstrual disc is a 5-year answer to what usually is a problem every 4-6 hours!
Reality check - period products are mostly all single use:
-
One pad can contain up to four plastic bags’ worth of material.
-
Tests have found pesticides, plastics and metals in tampons. That’s not something we want to be putting in our bodies.
-
Disposable period products can take up to 500 years to break down.
Hey Zomi’s disc is medical-grade silicone, holds 4x more than a tampon, and you can wear it for up to 12 hours, including overnight. Less waste. Fewer changes. More freedom.
And the best bit? Their community: inclusive, shame-free, real. If you’ve already swapped your cleaning, period care might be your next move.
Zero waste is a mindset. And a movement.
The more you refill and reuse, the more inefficient the old system looks.
-
The bottle you didn’t bin.
-
The deodorant tin you refilled.
-
The blush pan you popped back in.
-
The period product that lasted five years, not five hours.
This is what change looks like. Not perfect. But incremental, realistic, and maintainable.
We’re proud to be part of this sea change together, and to cheer on the Aussie brands doing it with us.
Let’s keep skipping waste. In every room. In every way.
