How to search for and find zero waste shops on Etsy.

I run my own zero waste Etsy shop called vayakora.

In order to make myself feel slightly better about selling on Etsy, I recently did a search for zero waste shops. I could only find three other blog posts concerning the “top 10 zero waste Etsy shops” for example:

1. https://moralfibres.co.uk/10-zero-waste-and-plastic-free-shops-on-etsy-uk/#comment-64303
2. https://www.gypsysoul.co.uk/7-of-the-best-zero-waste-shops-on-etsy-uk/#comment-43045
3. http://www.andthebee.com/etsy-shops-zero-waste-products/

I quickly found out that it’s not that easy to find zero waste shops on Etsy. It appears that this trend hasn’t really caught on yet. There’s no zero waste shop category. Yet.

So without further ado, here’s how to find all 300 zero waste shops on Etsy, this is the correct google search term to use:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22zero+waste%22+site:etsy.com/shop

At this stage, there is only 29 or 30 pages of search results. That’s not many. At 10 results per page, that adds up to 300 zero waste shops. That’s it. On the whole of Etsy. I’ve favourited pretty much ALL of them here.

At the time of writing, my shop was ranked on page 5 of google using this method.

Keep in mind that you you can quickly get overloaded with zero waste facial sponges. So also note that you can always add the words “bags”, “furniture”, “wallet” or “art” to find what you are looking for more specifically.
