Zero waste can be Lush
July 2023
Updated July 2024
Lush set a great example for other businesses to follow:
- Design for zero waste, removing unnecessary packaging where possible.
- Pot return scheme which incentivises customers to participate by providing a discount. Lush Swindon are a local Refill station.
- Innovative products made from fresh, natural ingredients such as soap and cosmetics.
- Strong ethical practices which cover human and animal welfare, and sustainability.
- Support grassroots activism in the areas of animal protection, human rights, and the environment.
So many good reasons to support Lush, one of Swindon's Refill / zero waste champions!!
Lush supported us last year and are doing the same again this year from the 26th-28th July. Choose a year for details of activities:
Charity Pot
Lush have again kindly offered us an opportunity to take part in their Charity Pot Scheme. That will take place at the Lush Swindon store in the Brunel Centre from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th July 2024. The money raised will help fund Plastic Free Swindon. Please come and say hi and support us!
This year we will have a presence in the store to talk about our campaign and pertaining issues. This is such a positive activity for us in many ways. Thank you to Lush for supporting us again!!
Collaboration
Given Lush's credentials, we were delighted to be co-hosting events with them for Plastic Free July 2023:

Lush provided an opportunity for us to take part in their Charity Pot Scheme. The £160 raised helped to fund our organisation's activities. Thank you to Lush and their customers for supporting us!!
5th anniversary litter pick
Plastic Free Swindon was 5 years old on the 1st July 2023! We launched our campaign in 2018 with a litter pick with the RSPCA. So a litter pick with Lush for our Keep Swindon Tidy campaign seemed apt.
