With a garbage truck worth of plastic ending up in the ocean every minute, and with only 10-13% of all plastics actually recycled, it’s time each of us get serious about our usage. After all, we only have one planet to call home.

Plastic Free Produce

Simple tips for eliminating plastic when you shop for produce:

• Skip using a bag for produce – there is no requirement to use bags
• Purchase sturdy reusable produce bags at Outpost and keep them handy
• Choose paper bags that can be reused, recycled or composted
• Choose a bio-plastic produce bag – they are 100% home-compostable certified*!

*Remember not all bio-plastics are home-compostable, but the produce bags we offer are!

B.Y.O.C. Bulk Containers

It's easy to be eco-friendly when shopping the bulk aisle by bringing your own containers or bulk bags for refills. Outpost sells a number of different types of reusable bulk bags.

• Make sure the jar or bag is clean
• Have the bag weighed at customer service BEFORE you fill it - you don't want you pay for the weight of your bag, right? And, the cashier may need to empty your container to weigh it if you don't do this. 
• Be sure to write the Bin # on a twist tie or indicate it on your container

It's that easy!
