Welcome To The Sustainable Shop
Our Mission
We live in a world full of overconsumption and convenience based purchases and it has really taken over the past couple of decades. Our mission is to help spread awareness about the lasting impact on our planet and health and to also bring an accessible alternative to our community. When purchasing in bulk and refilling our containers over and over, together we eliminate thousands of pounds of plastic from entering landfills and our environment. We strive to bring back to idea and concept of living minimally and staying in touch with what our bodies really need.
How It Works
Step 1: Bring in your clean and ready to fill container or utilize one from our clean jars donation bin.
Step 2: We weigh the container and tare the weight.
Step 3: Fill your container with one of our many products we offer in bulk.
Step 4: Weigh again subtracting the weight of the jar/container that we earlier tared.
Step 5: Pay for only the product and not the packaging!
Step 6: Celebrate yet another container saved from the landfill. You rock!!
Our Products
We offer a large selection of locally made products that you can feel confident using on yourself and your family. We carry products that use only the cleanest ingredients. You will never find any synthetic fragrance, sulphates, phosphates or toxic additives in our products. We have thoughtfully chosen each and every brand on our shelf with the intentions to only offer products that are not only safe but produce great results.
On top of our organic bath & body, non toxic cleaning products and eco household items, we also offer organic foods in bulk (in store only) such as nuts & seeds, teas & herbs, beans, legumes, popcorn, snacks, dried fruits, coffee and more!
Meet The Owner
Hi everyone! My name is Elaine and I own The Sustainable Shop in downtown Orangeville. This opportunity has been a dream come true. Opening a refill store focusing on locally made, waste free products has given me the ability to share my passion with the community that I love and meet so many like minded people. My family and I have spent years building on our sustainable journey and spreading awareness to those we know and love about how we can maintain a healthy planet and support future generations of all species. We are very mindful about what products and foods we put on or in our bodies and love to share that knowledge. When I'm not here at the store building my passion project, you can find me out in nature with my two kiddos, enjoying the elements year round whether it's fall hikes, snowboarding in the winter, basking in the sun on the beach in the summer or yoga in the garden in the spring. Otherwise, I'll be curled up with a good book (recommendations always welcome!).
We wouldn't be where we are without our incredible community. I am so thankful for everyone that has supported us and I look forward to growing together and dedicated our efforts towards a better tomorrow!
