REFUND POLICY

OUR PERSPECTIVE ON RETURNS

When ordering on Zero Waste Hero, please ensure every purchase is made with careful consideration. We do not generally accommodate refunds or returns unless under rare conditions such as faulty products, as in line with our sustainability policy.

One of the most destructive online retail trends that we are committed to changing is the excessive and careless ordering of products encouraged by free returns. Reverse logistics (or returns) generates 5.8 billion pounds of landfill waste per year in the U.S alone, as 10.6 % of all purchases ($428 billion worth of goods) are returned. In this process, trucks release 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in a devastating environmental impact. Unfortunately, ecommerce is the worst offenders here, with return rates that are 3x higher than brick and mortar. (source: Optoro 2020 Impact Report)

A big part of becoming a conscious consumer involves doing research before hitting that buy button. Make sure the product you’re about to purchase is something you need and are fully committed to – that’s why we try to vet our lineup down to the best eco friendly brands and provide in depth information on every item we offer.

That said, if a product is faulty or you’re facing truly extraordinary circumstances, send us a message on the Contact Us page and we’ll make sure to get back to you within 1 business day. We appreciate your understanding and hope to work together towards making conscious purchasing the ecommerce norm.
