Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start zero-waste living in a small apartment?
Begin with a 7-day trash audit, swap the top 3 disposables (bags, bottles, takeout), and set up a mini-sorting station (recycling, compost, soft plastics) near the bin you use most.
Is zero-waste expensive?
Not if you prioritize reusables you’ll use daily (bottle, coffee cup, tote) and focus on buying less, buying bulk, and repairing. Many swaps pay back within weeks.
Can I compost without a backyard?
Yes—try a countertop bokashi or worm bin, or use city drop-off/collection programs. Freeze scraps until drop-off day to keep things clean and odor-free.
Which eco products actually make a difference?
High-impact swaps replace frequent single-use items: water bottles, food containers, coffee filters, paper towels (cloth), and refillable cleaning concentrates.
How do I avoid greenwashing?
Look for third-party labels (e.g., compostable certifications), material transparency, and end-of-life info. If a product can’t be repaired or recycled, it’s often not “sustainable.”
Is your content legal or environmental advice?
Our content is educational and for general guidance. Check local rules for recycling and composting; policies vary widely by city.
