Sustainable shopping in Newcastle
Here is a list of sustainable shops around the Newcastle area. Wear hemp, buy plastic-free from a bulk section, eat whole foods and choose locally made crafts.
New Hemp
According to the website, this store is run by a carpenter who wants to spread the word about hemp. Shop for skincare, food and clothing.
Made in Hemp
There’s hemp clothing, homewares, hair care and more in Islington. I recently had a look at the place. There are useful essentials!
Creative Village
This store is a “collective of artists and designers from Newcastle and the Hunter working across various disciplines.” Local products can be more ethical, sustainable and original.
Scoop Wholefoods
Avoid plastic by shopping at this bulk store at The Junction. I adore the looseleaf teas. They also have a large soap tin that’s essential in the summertime. You can bring a soap bar in one of these containers when visiting a beach that doesn’t have handwash in the bathrooms.
Momo Wholefoods
Most of the menu is centred around whole plants at Momo.
An Apple a Day
If you need fresh ingredients from a local place, this could be the option for you.
The Farmacy Organics
However, if you’re willing to shop online each week, The Farmacy Organics will send the best organic produce to your door.
Bluegum Market
I heard about this crafty collection on Google and should have a look soon.
High Tea With Mrs Woo
This is all about slow fashion and homewares.
Yardsale Trading Co
Seeing their Instagram feed, there’s a bit of everything.
Moral Store
I got minimalist high-end vibes from their website.
The Conscious Exchange
This is for the items that are “too good to just donate.”
