New at Zero Waste Emporium ✨ We’re now featuring the work of local artist Kirsten Jeannine Gauthier! 🌿 Her black & white photography and storytelling pieces explore relationships, with each other, ourselves, and the world around us. 🖤 Come by and see her award-winning work in person!

This weekend marks one year since Mike & Kris took over Zero Waste Emporium! Grateful for our staff’s hard work + our amazing customers for supporting local + sustainable living in Victoria. Here’s to many more years of refills, community & zero waste living! 🌍

Big thanks to everyone who connected with us at VegFest 2025! Days like this remind us why we’re building a community-driven, sustainable food co-op together. 💚 #VegFest #ZWECoop

Meet Alannah! She’s been shopping at ZWE since moving to Victoria in 2023. Her fave find? Our oat milk powder—saving money and cutting waste. We love our amazing community! ✨

Pop by on Sundays this August! Mike & Kris, the co-owners of Zero Waste Emporium, will be in-store every Sunday this month — and they’d love to meet you! Come say hi, learn more about our transition to a cooperative, and chat with some of the folks helping shape this exciting next chapter.

Looking cool and being kind to the planet? Yes please. ✨ Bring your fav jars and fill up on all the good stuff—dried fruit, seeds, oils, nut butters, coffee, cleaning supplies... the list goes on!

Our peanut butter? Let’s just say... it has a fan base. Freshly ground in-store! Come try it—you might join the club. 😉
