Reusable Makeup Remover Pads in Pouch

One tree planted for every Zero Waste Club product sold.

Zero Waste Club share maker's stories for each of their products:

'My name is Sitrarasan. I am 37 years old and have been working in the factory for 8 years. I have found my speciality in flat seam tailoring which provides me with good, satisfying work. I work on a variety of products from cotton mesh, produce bags, dish towels and even makeup pads. I live nearby the factory with my family. The materials used for your brand is totally different from other fast fashion brands we manufacture for. Especially the sewing yarn where we mostly use polyester yarn, when the management told me to use cotton sewing yarn I can remember the old days when I migrated to the city 14 years ago, where only cotton sewing yarn was used and slowly polyester yarn dominated the market due to its cheaper price, It's good the old nature friendly cotton yarn is coming back.'

The production facility is based in Tamilnadu State in India. The minimum wage in the state is 8000INR per month. The makers are paid on average double the minimum wage at 16,000 INR per month. The makers work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. They are off on all public holidays. For the health and safety of the makers, they are ensured to wear gloves, face masks and hats. Also regular health checks are done at the expense of the factory.

From the brand founders: Feeling frustrated and let-down by the extent of the damage we have done to our environment, two friends went in search of answers. While the markets are changing slowly, they noticed that many products that are eco-friendly are given a luxury label. They also found that many products sold under the “eco” label tend to stretch the definition of sustainability. Thus they decided to start their own journey to produce truly sustainable, beautifully designed, ethical and vegan essentials at affordable prices.

"We want to do more than just make beautiful eco-friendly products. So we are going to make the most transparent, ethical, sustainable goods company on earth. Opening up our supply chain fully for everyone to see. To show that there is a nicer way to do business. Hopefully this will inspire other businesses to do the same."   -Pawan Saunya & Rishi Gupta, Co-Founders of Zero Waste Club
