Change Starts with Us

Green looks good on you

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Artifact — it’s our goal to make it as easy as possible to be responsible consumers in this crazy postmodern world.

some of our favorite places in Portland that support a world we want to live in

DOING OUR PART

ZERO WASTE LIFESTYLE

The best place to start is by using less to begin with! That’s why we recommend checking out your local zero waste shop, using and repairing what you already own, and shopping second hand whenever possible. Every action matters.

Sustainable Zero-Waste Retailers

Terracycle

Purchase your own Terracycle box or share one with friends and neighbors, to responsibly dispose and recycle, hard to recycle items. Did you know you can recycle everything from chip bags, to plastic film, to salon supplies? Terracycle has a box for almost everything and keeps items out of the landfill by turning them into new products!

Mama & Hapa’s

We get all our soap, hand lotion, and stain remover from Mama & Hapa’s. Their custom wireless system ensures we’re charged fairly by volume with no waste involved.

The Realm Refillery

There’s nothing quite so liberating as plastic-free grocery shopping! Ethical and accessible, The Realm Refillery shifts consumption habits by presenting more options than a traditional store.
