THE BULK HOUSE (English/英文)

THE BULK HOUSE is the 1st social enterprise in China focusing on zero waste. 

Carrie Yu, the founder, started her zero waste journey in the summer of 2016. At the beginning of 2017, Carrie registered THE BULK HOUSE, started some group chats on WeChat about Zero Waste, held a composting workshop, typed up some posts on the Official WeChat Account, chatted about her journey towards zero waste on some stages around Beijing, on radio shows, in magazines, held a number of Reduce to Relive events (they are swap events for all sorts of items) and then, in August 2017, thought "That's it! I'm done with my normal job, I'm going full-time with this Zero Waste mission" and so, she did! 

In December 2017, THE BULK HOUSE invited Bea Johnson (the founder of the Zero Waste movement) to Beijing to give a talk. It was a sold out event in Sanlitun. 

Then in January 2018, THE BULK HOUSE opened mainland China's 1st zero waste store with a soft opening party on Sunday 4th February at the 258 Electric World. Unfortunately (but kind of fortunately), 258 got closed for renovation and so THE BULK HOUSE had to move out.
HOWEVER, do not fear, they now have a new store on Gulou Dong Dajie.
Here is the new address: 北京市东城区鼓楼东大街24-2号

2018 has already been a great year zero waste and THE BULK HOUSE! and long may it continue!

Zero Waste is the concept of not producing any trash that could or will end up in landfills, incinerators or oceans. It can be done!
