‘It’s the only way to combat single-
use plastics’: Birmingham’s zero-
waste supermarket
Zero-
waste shopping promises to cut down on wasteful p ackaging and eradicate single-
use plastics from the weekly grocery shop. But can we really be weaned off our addiction to the ease a nd convenience offered by traditional supermarkets, with their pots of chilled products and plastic-
wrapped packs of fruit?
Jeanette Wong and partner Tom Pell think we can. In June 2018, they opened the Clean Kilo, a zerowaste vegetarian supermarket in Digbeth,
Birmingham where shoppers buy in bulk, bringing in their own containers and filling the m with everything from rice,
pulses and pasta to yoghurt, butter and milk.
The idea is to keep packaging to a minimum, so ev erything is scoopable, pourable and refillable. You c an squeeze your own orange juice, get ice-cream in cones and find a selection of fresh fruit and vegetab les. There are eco-
friendly cleaning products and personal care items. Moisturiser and body wash are sourced locally from nearby Bournville, and the contents of the five-
litre containers can be pumped into shoppers’ vess els. Washing up liquid, detergent and cleaners are dispensed from stainless steel containers into custo mers’ bottles, while laundry and dishwasher powder s are scooped into their containers. There’s not a pi ece of single-use plastic in sight.

Astronauts on the ISS now hope to test the impact heat and zero gravity have on the shape and consistency of cookies.
The experiment is being dubbed the first instance of baking in space.
The dough was provided by Hilton's Double Tree hotel
chain.
And they reckon the "landmark microgravity experiment" could make long-duration space travel "more hospitable".
The Cygnus capsule was also loaded with other unusual equipment, including sports car parts and a vest to protect against radiation.
ISS astronauts will test the safety vest to gauge its comfort, while Italian carmaker Lamborghini has sent up samples of carbon fibre used in its sports cars to examine the effects of direct space exposure.
They are said to be precursors for trips to the Moon and Mars.
The capsule also contains the equipment needed to complete a series of spacewalks this month to fix a key particle physics detector, as well as a range of research equipment and crew supplies.
The shipment, weighing about 8,200lb (3,700kg), is expected to reach the ISS on Monday.

The so-called "indestructible" McDonald's meal has no sign of mould or decay, despite having been first served up a decade ago.
Back in 2009, McDonald's closed down all three of its restaurants ____ Iceland.
And one man decided to buy the icy nation's final hamburger and fries - so the meal could live on after the chain's closure.

It's now been exactly 10 years since Smarason made his purchase, and the meal barely looks older.

The not-so-happy meal is housed in a glass cabinet in Snotra House, a hostel in southern Iceland.
