Perfection in imperfection

"aiyo, use this kind of packaging? Not zero waste leh"

For those who bought online from us, you will notice different types of packaging. Some were donated to us, some were leftovers from our previous shops.

When we were packing parcels, we thought a lot.
Are we really doing zero waste? It's a parcel, we use tape, we use courier bags, we use this and that. Does this mean we are not really practising zero waste? Should we just stop using? Or should we even stop selling at all. Should we use only paper? No plastic at all? If didn't use plastic at all, if the parcel is wet, how? If the item inside is damaged how? Etc etc etc.....

We took a few years to really think thoroughly and still unable to figure it out.

Now, we just leave the thinking part to our customers. We will just use whichever packaging that we think is okay for us and for sustainability. It's imperfect and never can satisfy everyone. But it's perfect for us.

Wabisabi
不完美中的完美

“哎哟,用这种包装?不是零浪费leh”

对于那些从我们网上购买的人,您会注意到不同类型的包装。有些是捐赠给我们的,有些是我们以前商店剩下的。

当我们包包裹的时候,我们会想很多。
我们真的做到了零浪费吗?这是一个包裹,我们用胶带,我们用快递袋,我们用这个那个。这是否意味着我们并没有真正践行零浪费?我们应该停止使用吗?或者我们甚至应该停止销售吗?我们应该只使用纸张吗?根本不用塑料吗?如果根本没有使用塑料,如果包裹湿了怎么办?如果里面的物品损坏了怎么办?等等等等等等......

我们花了几年时间认真思考,但仍然无法找到一个“完美”的方案。

现在,我们把思考的部分留给我们的客户。我们只会使用我们认为适合我们和可持续发展的包装。它是不完美的,永远无法让所有人满意。但这对我们来说是完美的。

"eh, I tot you closed for good? Still doing business?"

"Do you still refill online?"

We received these questions a lot. 😂

1. Yes, we do online business now at shopee. Here's the link shopee.com.my/basicsrefillstation

2. We are refurbishing our website. Once it's done, we will post here.

3. In our shopee shop, we didn't sell any liquid detergents. We do sell soap bars and shampoo bars.

4. We are taking our time to experiment how to do liquid refill online, conveniently and efficiently.

Lastly we want to say thank you to those who still remember us. We do not know how long we will take to come back with refills. We want to take it slow.

慢慢来,比较快嘛。
好的谢谢你们的支持。

We are 4 days late!

Do you remember we have extra flood relief fund back in December 2021?

We used the funds to donate detergents to Siri Jayanti Metta Home in Setapak on 27 December 2023, with Sabrina as the facilitator who went all the way to site visit and interviewed the caretaker.

On behalf of all elderly residents at Metta Home, we want to thank you to all who donated and wish all of you a blissful Happy New Year (Sorry a few days late)!

Ps: This is a pilot program to introduce zero waste/refill concept to charity homes in Klang Valley.

When we first opened Basics Zero Waste Store in year 2020, we always wanted to do community works that relates to zero waste concept. Thanks to Sabrina, we are able to try out before we closed. More community projects to come  Stay tune for more updates.

您还记得 2021 年 12 月我们有额外的防洪救灾基金吗?

我们于2023年12月27日用这笔资金向Setapak的Siri Jayanti Metta之家捐赠了清洁剂,Sabrina作为协调人,全程实地考察并采访了管理员。非常感谢她!

我们谨代表慈光之家全体长者向所有捐款人表示感谢,并祝大家新年快乐!

PS:这是一个试点计划,旨在向巴生谷的慈善之家引入零浪费/补充概念。

当我们在2020年开设Basics零废物商店时,我们一直想做与零废物概念相关的社区工作。感谢 Sabrina,我们能够在关门前试到了。希望可以即将推出更多社区项目 继续关注吧

Merry Christmas!

With loads of excitement and sadness, we hereby officially permanently close our physical store operation earlier than the expected date.

Hiem and Kerry would like to thank all who came and supports us after we announced our closure. We really really appreciate it!

We are shifting from physical to online! Many of you asked whether we will continue to sell detergents online. Yes, we will but not now. We want to make sure refills can be done online, efficiently and effectively. We need more time to do research and development. Please continue to follow our social media pages for updates.

Bye for now! Hope to see you all again very soon.

p/s: Our shopee store name is Basic Zero Waste Store. We can’t change the shop name (I also don’t know why ).

Meanwhile, here are the other zero waste stores that you can visit at Klang Valley. Each visit to a zero waste store shows a big support to the owners and made a big difference to sustainability. 

Minimize Zero Waste Store - Subang
Seedy Zero Waste Store – Kota Kemuning
Zero Waste Earth Store – Shah Alam
The Hive Bulk Foods – Bangsar
A Bit Less Zero Waste Bulk Store - Kepong

圣诞快乐!

怀着激动和悲伤的心情,我们特此提前正式永久关闭实体店业务。

Hiem 和 Kerry 衷心感谢所有在我们宣布关闭后前来支持我们的人。我们真的很感激!

我们正在从实体转向线上!很多人问我们是否会继续在网上销售洗涤剂。是的,我们会的,但不是现在。我们希望确保补充可以在线、高效且有效地完成。我们需要更多时间进行研究和开发。请继续关注我们的社交媒体页面以获取最新的消息。

暂时再见!希望很快能再次见到大家。

p/s:我们的shopee店铺名称是Basic Zero Waste Store。我们不能更改店名(我也不知道为什么)。

以上是您可以在巴生谷参观的其他零废物商店。每次参观零废物商店都表明了对店主的大力支持,并对可持续发展产生了巨大影响。

Dear all,

It's time to say farewell to our physical store. Basics will close its doors in February 2024 (last day operation is 28 January 2023) and will focus on sustainable outreach through online platforms but will take a long break to re-adjust ourselves after this closure. Certain products will be available at our shopee store (ongoing) and website (coming soon).

***
Please take advantage of our closing sale from today till our last day of operation at the physical store (until stock lasts). We also have extra racks and fittings to sell, so if you find anything suitable or useful in the store, please make an offer.

***
Please be reminded to utilize all valid cash vouchers and member points by 28 January 2023.

***
Along this journey, we received all kinds of assistance and support that we never deserved and met with so many people that we never encounter before including our zero waste suppliers, social enterprise owners and other zero waste store owners.

This is not an easy decision to make because we enjoy talking to everyone of you in person, but we realized it is time to let go for the time being. Feel free to continue to follow our social media page.

Throwback to 27 Sept 2023.

We were invited by Technip to promote sustainability at their office!

They want to highlight the importance of reuse and refill. Hence, they offered free detergent refills to their employees as long as they bring an empty bottle with them. And with this, they started to find all sorts of empty containers that they could in the office. 🤣🤣🤣

As usual, we are short of manpower.

A big thank you to for helping us load and unload during the set up. They just come without questions when we ask them for help. 🥰🥰🥰

A huge thank you to Diana, Evy & Rajesh, persons in charge from Technip for this sustainability booth especially Rajesh. He repeated not less than 50 times about the difference between biodegradable and non biodegradable liquids and the impact towards our river systems. 😎😎😎🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much!

Every time you choose to refill in Basics, you make an impact on the environment. We are dedicated to promote the habit of refilling household necessities instead of buying a new one every time to individual household, retail and corporate space.

One of our programme in line with environmental efforts is the ‘Adopt-A-Coral’ programme with Coralku , a research driven coral restoration and conservation non-profit enterprise. Between 2022 and 2025, Coralku plan to plant 30,000 corals in Malaysia.

Together let’s join Coralku’s restoration mission by adopting a coral with them. The adoption will help them cover the materials, tools and resources needed for out planting the coral into the designation restoration area at Lang Tengah.
