CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeCreating Koreatown's First Zero-Waste Store
Zero-waste stores are gaining popularity in Los Angeles, with new refilleries popping up all over town. However, these stores are in wealthier areas, leaving residents of central LA-who often face higher environmental burdens despite living more sustainable lifestyles-without environmentally-friendly options. Zero Waste Koreatown will address this disparity by creating a bulk store in LA's densest neighborhood, bringing sustainable, affordable, healthy bulk groceries and goods to underserved lower-income people and communities of color.
