It aims to support the zero waste ideals of refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot.
Co-founder Amanda Welschbillig said when the business started, she did not know there were so many people in WA that wanted an easier way to “live less wastefully”.
Fellow co-founder Jeannie Richardson said the team were passionate about promoting a zero-waste lifestyle.
“It is extremely gratifying to feel that the message of reducing waste, reusing and recycling is clearly gaining momentum with the general community,” she said.
“The Wasteless Pantry team are excited to see what 2019 holds in store for resource recovery in WA.”
