Company activities and impact

Kintyre Weigh in Campbeltown, is the Kintyre peninsula's first zero waste/refill shop. We are a social enterprise. We want to make a real difference to our community, our economy, our environment, and our kids' future. We opened in December 2022. Our shop sells foodstuffs & household products by weight, with customers bringing their own containers (though we also provide donated containers, paper bags, and offer some re-useable containers for purchase if preferred). We also stock a range of plastic-free/re-useable products. According to Zero Waste Scotland, the average Scottish household buys 130kg of single-use grocery packaging each year, at a cost of almost £250 (7% of the average grocery bill) and 70% of the UK’s food waste happens in households. Kintyre Weigh not only benefits the community by cutting down on rubbish creation, collection and processing, it also supports those on a low income by removing packaging costs and allowing them to buy just the amounts they need. As a coastal community, we are very aware not only of the plastic waste that washes up on our beaches, but also, as one of 9 Scottish Climate Action Towns, we are facing a very real threat from rising sea levels. Kintyre Weigh wants to give people a space to be part of the conversation about these issues and a way to make manageable, everyday changes for a better future.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are residents of Kintyre and visitors to the area, as well as local craftsfolk. All of the current directors of the shop have lived in the area for years and have developed the business model of the shop based on their experience of talking to other residents and visitors, and then continued to do so based on conversations and online interaction with customers. While we were setting up Kintyre Weigh we offered an online survey to potential customers, and received over 60 responses, which enabled us to understand how best we could engage with their shopping priorities and needs. For example we found our customers needed us to prioritise “affordable” over “organic”, and therefore we have only stocked organic products (which it does benefit the environment to support) where the price is fairly comparable to non-organic. On an ongoing basis we offer a comments form on our website and log verbal feedback in our shop diary, and we share these comments here: https://kintyreweigh.wordpress.com/what-folks-are-saying/ In year 2 of opening, we put out surveys to consult our stakeholders – one for current customers, one for previous customers, and one for our volunteers, on paper to be more accessible, and used their feedback to guide our practices and make some changes
