Thanks for your support, Vessel Voyagers!

Vessel Nundah was an award-winning social enterprise, operating in Nundah, Brisbane from 2018-2023.
We sold zero-waste body and home products.

Where and how can you shop zero-waste in Brisbane?

  1. The simplest solution is to go in with a few friends and buy in bulk direct from my suppliers (or the suppliers of your choice). They are all amazing humans and would love your continued support. See below for the list.
  2. More and more organic/bulk food stores are incorporating home and body refills in their stores too, and worth checking out.
  3. Or, you can always go down the DIY route! Under Your Sink and Krissy Ballinger are amazing gurus in this space, with so much knowledge to share.
  4. Alternatively, bigger, organised bulk buying groups are another way to go. Food buying groups such as Chewsday Collective at Annerley, Turnstyle at West End, Albany Creek Ethical Groceries Group, West End Bulk Buyers, Moorooka Midweek Market at Sovereign Foods, or Mansfield Ethical Groceries Group often incorporate some home and body refills, and you could ask them if they could get more.
  5. Lettuceshare, and Food Connect have some great info if you want to start your own group, whether specifically for home and body products, or together with a food offering. (We definitely need more northside options!)
