The Pantheon

This kit is much like our Nomad, but packed into a Dopp Kit shaped bag we call the Pantheon. It fits neatly into a backpack or tote and has a convenient end handle. Everything you need to refuse throw away trash all day long. You can keep it in the car, grab it on the go, and carry it independently without an outer bag.

The Nomad

Our most compact kit for every day, ideally sized to slip into a computer bag, backpack, purse, tote bag, or satchel. Great for traveling light yet always having the basics of what you need. This kit contains one stainless steel to-go container, a small market tote, produce bag, napkin, spoon, fork and straw. Pair it with the Z-Beverage Kit for a complete zero waste solution.

The Z-Kids Kit

When you are finally fed up with sending the children off to school with ziplocs and throw away containers and all kinds of single use plastic items, (you know what we are talking about) this is the kit for you. Reusable versions of everything with a sense of style. Easy to clean and all machine washable.

The Explorer

We notice that most everyone these days seems to carry a backpack while commuting to work, traveling by plane and just navigating life. We have created a complete zero waste system in backpack form. This kit has convenient pockets for every aspect of your system, while still leaving space for your laptop, iPad, book, Kindle, homework, and more. A fantastic graduation gift for the college-bound kid!

The Ultimate Explorer

This is our most comprehensive kit, designed for international travel. It contains one of the best tools for refusing plastic water bottles in the developing world - the SteriPen. It comes in a backpack that is amazingly spacious and lightweight, with side pockets for a reusable water bottle and coffee cup. You’ll always travel with cutlery, napkin, produce and pastry bag, a market tote for shopping, two sizes of cup (one for the plane and smaller beverages like juice and wine and one for your bigger lattes, coffees, iced chai, and smoothies). You’ll have a stainless steel straw, two reusable ziplock-style bags for snacks and to-go containers for left overs and on the go foods, soups, etc.

The Warrior

When you are ready for a complete system overhaul from top to bottom, this is our most comprehensive and impressive kit. It is a spectacular purse (one of the best designs we have ever used) with two outer pockets containing the Z-Canteen and Z-Cup. Inside is The Nomad Kit, easily accessible. A complete Zoetica system.

The Festival Tote

You've probably attended picnics, concerts, weekend music festivals, art fairs and other special events, and noticed the crazy amount of trash they generate. This tote lets you refuse all the single use convenience trash with style and convenience.

The Z-Beverage Kit

We have teamed up our Z-Cup and Z-Canteen to make the perfect zero waste hydration kit. This amazing duo of beverage tumbler and water canteen means no more plastic water bottles and no more throw away coffee cups. There are hundreds of coffee cup and water bottle options in the world, but we think these are the absolute best! Designed to fit into a number of our bags.

The Bag of Bags 8

After lugging piles of dirty, ugly reusable shopping bags into the grocery store time after time, we realized there must be a better way.

Our compact, convenient and stylish kits allow you to refuse convenience trash all day long. Everything works better and looks better than the throw away alternatives.

Check out our product line

When our founders personally committed to refusing convenience trash, they needed a system. So many "sustainable" products didn't work, didn't last, or just didn't meet their design and style standards. It took 8 months to find the right products that fit together in a compact, lightweight way. At Zoetica, we believe others may benefit from our rigorous vetting process of products, companies and lasting benefits.
