ECO MKE and the plastic-free life

from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

If you’re trying to live a more plastic-free life, Milwaukee’s new “refillery” might be for you. At ECO MKE Refillery, you can bring in a reusable container, like a mason jar or glass jug, and buy refills of dish soap, detergent, body wash and more.  Kayla Bouma is the owner and founder of ECO MKE. She says her new brick-and-mortar in the Third Ward also sells sustainable home goods like bamboo utensils, dryer balls and toothpaste tablets.  Bouma joins Lake Effect’s Xcaret Nuñez to share more about her business and how people can implement eco-friendly habits in their everyday lives.
