Towards Zero Waste

Embracing Zero Waste at ORGANIKA

The surge in plastic production over recent decades is undeniable, with single-use plastics contributing significantly to global waste. Since the early 1950s, over 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced, and approximately 60% has found its way into landfills or the natural environment. Alarmingly, about 8 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans each year, predominantly sourced from non-renewable resources like oil and natural gas.

These statistics are concerning, highlighting the urgent need for us all to rethink our daily habits to protect our planet. At ORGANIKA, we empower you to make a positive impact and support a healthier, waste-free world.

Let’s Create Change Together

We believe that knowledge and awareness are vital first steps toward meaningful change. Across Australia and beyond, individuals are becoming more mindful of their consumption choices and their long-term effects. At ORGANIKA, we are passionate about promoting a waste-free lifestyle. We actively work to minimize waste in our store and help you reduce your environmental footprint at home.
