No matter where we’re from or what experiences we’ve had, we all call the beautiful planet Earth home. As the 2020s begin in earnest, we know we’re not the only ones feeling the excitement of a new decade and making goals for the future – and taking care of the Earth and the people around us is at the top of our list!
Zero Waste
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
On this planet,
we're better together .
This Journee is about awareness, sustainability, and setting a positive course for the future. Featuring items that are reusable and made to last, the Zero Waste JourneeBox inspires and empowers greener, happier living.
Reduce, reuse, recycle is our mantra for this Journee! And it’s more possible than you think — many people around the world are taking strides toward more sustainable methods, and items in this JourneeBox are inspired by different countries as well as traditions in history that can help us create a bright future for us all.
Kevia Style’s No-Waste Journee
As a brand focused on sustainability, we are excited to become even more Earth-friendly. In this JourneeBox we used less plastic, more sustainable packaging, and learned all we could about the growing Zero Waste movement. We know this process is not an easy or fast one, but we believe every step in the right direction is worth the effort.
In our continual efforts to become more sustainable, we’ve made some serious changes to this JourneeBox:
• This Zero Waste Booklet is provided to you digitally to save on paper.
• Each JourneeBox itself is more recyclable than ever, with no plastics or metals. Even the ink is made with soy, instead of common metallic ink, for easier recycling.
• We cut down on plastic used as the additional packaging around each item inside the box, and only used it when necessary to protect the products. We are searching for more biodegradable plastic options for the future.
• On the inside of each JourneeBox is a list of helpful Zero Waste tips. See what you can change in your own life to support the world’s efforts to go green.
• And, as always, a percentage of our proceeds goes to supporting causes in the community for healthier, happier, more successful people on this Earth.
We are proud of our lower-waste efforts, and hope to continue moving in a no-waste direction. The more demand there is for sustainable materials and practices, the more accessible companies will want to make them. So join us in taking little steps every day to create more demand by supporting sustainable brands and policies and change the world together!

Delft Blue Eco-Bag
Delft Blue Eco-Bag
Piles and piles of plastic bags are a thing of the past! But there’s no need to sacrifice your personal style when you go green. Inspired by the long-lasting earthenware of the Netherlands, the Delft Blue style is a reminder of a time when things were made to last and made beautifully. This Delft Blue Eco-Bag is both charming and sustainable, perfect for a run to the local produce stand or a carry-all on errands.
Collection of Delft Blue plates from Holland.
The Delft Blue Eco-Bag is made of organic cotton and is unbleached by harsh chemicals. Reusing items such as bags and water bottles can make a huge difference in protecting the Earth. We can make the choice every day to create a positive future for ourselves and future generations.
Svensk Servett
Swedish Dishcloths
Another item inspired by Swedish innovation. Invented in Sweden during the 1940s, Swedish Dishcloths are made from 50% cotton and 50% cellulose bamboo viscose, printed with environmentally friendly ink. Long lasting, reusable, and super absorbent, these Svensk Servetts replace disposable paper towels and sponges. These dishcloths are a great way to spend less money while reducing waste. And they’re so cute, too!
This three pack set is printed with a water-based, environmentally friendly ink and is 100% biodegradable. Worried about throwing away the paper packaging around the dishcloths? No need! The paper packaging is perforated, so you can tear and reuse them as no-waste gift cards.
These dishcloths can be cleaned in the washing machine or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Alternatively, you can boil them or microwave them (when damp) for one minute. Hang over the faucet or lay flat to air dry. The dishcloths should last several months - when finished, you can compost them!
Wheat Straw
Colander
Wheat straw plastic is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic that’s taking the entire world by storm! And that’s a Journee that we can’t wait to share with you!
Left over from agricultural processing, wheat straw plastic is compostable and incredibly durable. Representing the future of Bioplastics in a nutshell, these colander’s represent new materials for a new century! Not only is the material more sustainable, but the design makes it more convenient to keep your gray water, which can be reused around the house to conserve water. Hand wash for best results, but this colander is also dishwasher and microwave safe.
These colanders will be the iconic new addition to your kitchen and a fascinating topic for your next dinner party.
Cold Press
Soap Bar*
Soap making is an art more than four thousand years old. Historically made from all-natural materials, soap has been used since 2800 BC for keeping the world around us cleaner as well as for healing purposes. With the introduction of modern chemical processes, soap making has become less natural and often results in more plastic waste. In our Journee to find better ways to look after the Earth, we couldn’t help but love this soap bar throw-back!
