The Zero Co brand was born out of Mike's frustration in finding plastic waste in some of the remotest parts of the world. The company uses the reusable ‘Forever Bottles,’ made from Ocean, Beach, and Landfill (OBL) and refilled with pouches that are sent back to be cleaned and reused.
Their unique business model lets Australians purchase all their household products in one place while reducing plastic consumption. Over 58,000 Australian households have signed up to Zero Co since its launch in November 2020 following a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign.
Mike Smith is an engaging speaker with a profound passion for making a positive impact on the planet and motivating others to do the same. He will change the world and your business for good.
