NUDE THE ZERO WASTE STORE (@NUDEZEROWASTE)
BY CHERYL ANNE LOW AND WILSON CHIN (CO-FOUNDERS)
A substantial zero-waste shop that’s more than just a grocer – that’s what Nude: The Zero Waste Store is all about in a nutshell. Offering eco-friendly alternatives to everyday essential items, the grocery store located at the heart of Petaling Jaya, and masterminded by Cheryl and Wilson is also a one-stop hub that offers visitors information about zero waste and resource conservation.
How does Nude work?
We offer a wide range of daily essentials items such as foods, drinks and detergents to wellness and skincare products like essential oils to households and all-natural insect repellents, that price at 10 to 15% lower compared to any supermarkets. We sell them by weight and customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and bags when they come.
Why is Petaling Jaya the right spot for Nude The Zero Waste store?
We saw a great opportunity in PJ because previously, there was no such thing as zero-waste shop around this area, and we thought Nude might be a great idea to introduce to the community about the reused and recycled lifestyle.
How do you source the items you sell at your store?
The sourcing practices are discussed with our suppliers before we proceed with the purchase. We need to know that the whole process involved in producing the items – from the supply chain to ingredients to packaging – and which products can be repacked in materials other than plastic. We try to source our products locally and work alongside other small businesses that share our passion.
