A new zero-waste shop has opened in Surbiton, offering household goods, beauty products and bulk food in plastic-free packaging.
Sage's Health Store , an ethical pharmacy in Surbiton which opened in 2019, has now expanded to become a zero-waste zone offering a range of organic, ethically sourced and vegan products.
Founder Sage Parmer says she wants to help educate her community to make simple changes in their lifestyles that will reduce the harmful impact on our planet.
The stores are located on 24 and 22 Brighton Road. Opening hours are 9-5pm Monday-Friday and 10-5pm on Saturday.
Sage, a qualified pharmacist with 20 years experience, owned a pharmacy in Covent Garden before setting up her health store in Surbiton .
She opened the new zero-waste shop on World Refill Day last week, Wednesday 16 June.
In a post on Instagram Sage reflected on her first day of business in the new store.
She wrote: "Today was a very special day.
"After all the unforeseen delays, grief and setbacks we have encountered over the past year we really needed an incredible effort from the team to get to this stage.
"Now we can confidently and proudly open the doors to Sage's Health Store, your local Zero Waste Zone."
She added: "My beautiful Mum was here in spirit today, holding the doors wide open with her beautiful smile and wearing her special scarf.
"She is a symbol of the warrior strength that will always be in my heart and is the soul of Sage.
"Sage's Health Store is my passion and a dream come true.
"I am on a mission to help and educate my local community to implement simple changes in their lifestyles to help reduce the harmful impact on our planet by offering a unique shopping experience.
"So please stop by, say hello and check out our amazing products!"
