ZERO ensures that all ingredients are sourced exclusively within the UK.
Our unique collaborations with a growing number of independent award winning UK hemp farms ensures zero selects only the finest organic hemp seed oil.

With 2 of 3 ingredients in ZERO being from hemp - we select only those growers who share the same love of growing hemp as we do with making soap.

---

​We work with UK Hemp farmers to develop and deliver each an exclusive and bespoke product range.  Some have included  carefully selected UK sourced essential oils from artisan growers.

Sold with a focus on the local market and with zero waste/refill stores and independent traders to keep money in the local economy.  Creating a new revenue source for farmers whilst providing ZERO with the best hemp seed oil.

​The multi-function nature of ZERO soap paste means that farming costs can be  reduced through it's use as a bio-degradable organic pesticide.  Sold locally also to independent garden centres for the surfactant properties as a wetting agent.

ZERO contributes to organic certification when utilised as an industrial cleanser/de-greaser. Equipment and environment in the manufacture of  seed oil can be cleansed organically at no cost to farmer.

ZERO is circular and infinite

Everything about ZERO was developed to be ZERO single-use plastic free.
Our practices and production means that even after-life plastic can be re-used - for Ballagh Micro Farm all plastic has an infinite use.
From IBC's for earth-sheltered greenhouses and bio-digesters; Drums for beehives and compost toilets or aquaponic systems; to Barrels for fertiliser fermenters and geodesic dome components!

MAKE ZERO

Supplier ingredients are sourced in bulk reusable-plastic containers that are utilised for farming practices at end of "productive" life.

SELL ZERO

Supplier ingredients are transformed into own brand products using a re-fill system for sale into zero waste markets.

Then are utilised for farming practices at end of "productive" life.

LEAVE ZERO

Our innovative Soap Paste was developed to reduce shipping water. Additionally any products developed by ZERO for sale by our hemp farms will always be 100% recyclable or infinitely reusable by design.
