Six ways to use minimalism to support a zero-waste lifestyle

Continue using items until they can no longer serve their purpose. Do you really need a new towel just because the old one are not so white or so fluffy anymore?

Repair and clean items to make them last longer and reduce the needs for replacements.

Repurpose items to give them new use and keep them out of the landfills.

Instead of throwing away broken items, consider buying parts and repairing them. It's a cost-effective solution and will give you a sense of accomplishment by making the item usable again.

Buying cheaper goods may feel more "cheap", but in the long run, you sometimes spend more repairing or replacing them. Buy fewer items, but of higher quality, to reduce waste and costs in the long run.
