“We all have the ability to sustain our planet, our communities, and our lives.”
~Cassandra Pope, Owner of Sustain Ability Bulk Shoppe, LLC
About the owner…
Sustain Ability Bulk Shoppe, LLC is owned and operated by me, Cassandra Pope. My family has lived in south-central Wisconsin all our lives. I have a strong desire to build into and improve my community and to empower my community to be conscious consumers and eco-focused.
A New Beginning…
Our logo is simple, keeping with our minimalist mindset, and includes a simple, canvas tote bag.
The very first sustainable lifestyle switch our family made was switching to reusable shopping bags instead of plastic or paper bags offered at most stores. We all have to start somewhere! For us, the canvas tote bag was the beginning of our low-waste journey, and that is what our business hopes to be for those just learning about this way of life - a new beginning!
Our “why”…
A large percentage of consumer waste comes from packaging. A simple solution to this problem is not to use packaging to begin with. Most of the time, it’s just not necessary! Our company is not only ditching the packaging but also “single-use" and plastic items as well and is opting for longer lasting, plastic-free, reusable products.
In addition to how our products are packaged, we are also conscious of how they are produced, including the materials used, how those materials are sourced, and the consequences that production has on our planet! How our products affect our health is important to us too, so our products are as natural and chemical free as we are able to get.
A complete “zero-waste” lifestyle is nearly impossible for the majority of us to attain because of the culture we live in and the lack of accessibility to the zero-waste products we need. Sustain Ability Bulk Shoppe, LLC aims to provide our consumers with that access, offering plastic-free and package-free essentials at prices the majority of people can afford.
Our business centers around an Eco-Minimalism lifestyle that practices only buying what we need and making educated, responsible, and ethical purchases for those items. Researching every item we use is time consuming and takes a lot of effort. We'll do that part for you, so you can feel confident and comfortable about the purchases you make!
Our orders are shipped as sustainably as possible!
All of the boxes and packaging we use for shipping have been reused. If your box looks a little beat up or worn, that’s why! We’ve been saving boxes and packaging materials from friends and family, inventory orders, and any extras we can find for quite a while in order to provide you with a sustainable shipping experience!
The tape we use is compostable paper tape. Our labels have either been donated or found at secondhand stores and sales. Any packaging materials used inside of boxes, such as bubble wrap or packing paper, has also been saved from other shipped purchases.
If you find any plastic tape or packaging of any kind in your order, rest assured that it was not purchased by our company, just saved from going to the landfill!
