Zero Waste Campaign
As you may have seen, at the start of this month we took part in the Zero Waste Week campaign but due to our commitment to sustainability we decided to extend the campaign for the entire month!
Zero Waste Week is an award-winning campaign, raising awareness about the environmental impact of waste.
The campaign was initially launched in 2008 and takes place across social media, with bloggers posting content throughout the week and events taking place online.
We aim to raise awareness about the environmental impact of waste and how Micro-Fresh® products can reduce waste and help
save the planet.
How are Micro-Fresh® products sustainable?

CO2 emissions
The need for washing frequently
