Our Mission
Local Zero is an exciting new concept which makes it easy for everyone to access affordable, zero-waste shopping. We offer our customers the best of local foods, household supplies and creative crafts, and help our community reduce waste and protect our precious planet. Our products are available in-store and online, and are delivered to your door via our eco-delivery service. Local Zero are champions of shopping locally and is proud to be part of a sustainable retail revolution.
Sustainable Local Shopping
We want to focus on building a sustainable, inclusive community with the aim of becoming a hub for Ideas and information to help you make a difference to the world.
We are Small Business Champions - by partnering with local businesses, to curate a range of the best sustainably sourced local produce and products, we hope to enhance the local economy.
Our delivery service for local retailers and suppliers using zero-emission electric vehicles will help local businesses reach new customers while reducing distribution costs and food miles. Everybody wins – especially the planet!
Launching in Hampshire
Initially launching in Hampshire, Local Zero will be based in Stockbridge, working with local business and customers within a 20 mile radius.
So whether you are in Andover or Alresford, South Wonston or Winchester, Wherwell or West Wellow, we can deliver to your door within 48 hours of your order.
In line with our ethos to keep food miles to a minimum and to be considerate to the local economy, it is important that we build strong relationships with our partner suppliers in the region as well as growing our customer community in the area. Once we have a proven business model we will look to widen our reach across Hampshire or even roll-out in new regions!
Making sustainable shopping and recycling more accessible
Sustainability
Sustainability is the ability to exist and develop without the depletion of the Earth’s natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance, meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
As well as the impact on environmental resources, at Local Zero we believe that social and economic sustainability are just as important, which is why we are so passionate about supporting local businesses.
Zero Waste
There is so much unnecessary waste and single-use materials going to landfill, or worse, into our oceans every year, we want to do something about it.
Some plastics can take over 500 years to decompose, so reducing the amount of plastic in our products and packaging can really help the environment.
The Local Zero mission is to make sure the products we sell and packaging we use can all be reused, recycled or composted.
Recycling
We want to help you recycle more. With restrictions on the items household refuse will collect and process, recycling can pose a challenge, particularly for those living in rural locations and no transport.
Not only are we looking at ways to making recycling more accessible, but we are also researching how we can offer recycling of a wider range of materials.
