Sustainable Haus Mercantile

Sustainable Haus Mercantile is more than just a zero waste refill store, it is a lifestyle experience. The owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and educate on their products, they’re not just selling. They truly believe in their mission, to get people to make changes in their lives which will lead them to be healthier as well as help the planet. From laundry detergent to shampoo to non-plastic food storage and so much more. I’m so happy this store exists and thankful for all that they do.

The people there are beyond helpful & welcoming! I came in with a fat list of items that a friend wanted for her new place & the person there was generous with their time to gather all the items & discuss any necessary details. They were kind enough to share their recommendations on products as well.

Every time you go in there, they help you make the most informed decisions for your needs. And as of the few times I've made purchases, the items are of high quality. I recommend bringing your own mason jars & containers. I found it helpful to scope out their stock before coming in to get refillable items.

Check out their website which represents most items that they hold in their store -- school supplies, household items, etc.

I LOVE shopping at sustainable haus! There are so many plastic-free options for your home and for self-care. I'm in love with the shampoo and refill mine every chance I get. Leaves my hair bouncy and shiny!

Discovering Sustainable Haus in Summit, NJ, has been a revelation in my journey toward sustainable living. The quality of their skincare products, especially the handmade soaps, is unparalleled. I'm particularly selective about the soap I use, and Sustainable Haus's offerings have set a new standard for me. It has a nice, subtle peppermint scent and is mild enough to use on my face and body without leaving my skin dry or stripped.

The Dip Shampoo Bar and Conditioning Bars they carry have also been exceptional, surpassing even the high-quality shampoo bars I previously purchased from Lush.

Sustainable Haus is a testament to how eco-friendly products can deliver superior results without compromising quality or experience. Sustainable Haus is an absolute must-try for anyone pursuing top-notch, environmentally responsible skincare.

Sustainable Haus has been my go to store for over 2+ years for transforming my house into a greener home, one room at a time. From the fizzy cleaner tabs, hand lotion and shower gel in the bathroom to window and floor cleaner for the rest of the house, Sustainable Haus has you covered. Janette and her staff are very knowledgeable about how to make this lifestyle transformation sustainable and practical.

Thanks to this shop for promoting sustainable swaps and a zero waste lifestyle!

The store accepts recyclable products (just drop off single use items as you make a eco friendly switch!) and also facilitates composting as part of a subscription program. They also host green events!

I really appreciated how helpful the sales associates were in explaining the products and I appreciated the diversity of products. I'm even more inspired after visiting the store!

This store is fantastic. The staff is uber friendly and very knowledgeable about the products. This is the perfect refill shop for your house essentials and items to be more ecologically friendly.They have the best homemade masks to be found. They come in multiple sizes, tons of patterns, and fit properly.The best is that the elastic ear loops are soft and the adjusters don’t move. Once you have your prefect fit, it stays even when you wash them. Highly recommend.

I Love Sustainable Haus. I've been trying to find ways of reducing plastic and packaging in my life. Janette is so knowledgeable and makes it easy to refill my shampoo, cleaning supplies and even sunscreen. I love how she re-purposes used textiles into useful and beautiful items as well. The unpaper towels are fantastic! I highly recommend and wish more people would refill at her store to reduce their plastic footprint. Also, her Summit Store has FREE PARKING!!!

I initially went for the knife sharpening service, which happened to be very good, and saw the contents of the store. I loved the items in the store. I also saw the great selection of mask that were available and bought some. The masks have one of the most comfortable ear loops I’ve worn and I was able to buy some with a nose piece (which helps reduce foggy glasses!). Jannette was also very nice accommodating. Customer service is great! Highly recommend checking the store out.

The staff was very kind and helpful when I came to visit. One employee recommended a lavender shampoo and conditioner and it’s the best shampoo/conditioner I’ve ever used! This store is much larger than the other zero waste stores I’ve been to (household items only, no pantry). They also do a stand at the Summit farmer’s market. I look forward to returning!

A socially and environmentally conscious store with a great assortment of merchandise. Cleaning products, homewares, cosmetics and baby clothes, along with self care products (a great assortment of masks!) line the shelves. I'm a big fan of the masks, towels, napkins, market baskets. It's always fun to talk to the owner-- Janette -- about her work with the Greater Newark Conservancy. Found some nice e presents there too!

I was so excited to visit for the first time, and I was not disappointed! I was able to purchase some lovely products. Now that I know what they have available, I'm going to come back when I have some empty product containers to refill. I believe that this will be a regular shopping location for me!

Sustainable Haus is such a wonderful store! Janette and her staff are so helpful, and provide such important information!! They have tremendously guided me on my sustainable journey.

Adorable store that has definitely taken good COVID precautions (they offer a sink for patrons to wash their hands if they want to touch any products). Wide range of products, I bought a reusable pad and a cute mask. The products are about as much (or cheaper) ones that you can find online would be but you can cut out the shipping cost (and the shipping gas lol) so it's cheaper and still more environmentally friendly. The owner is very friendly and would recommend for anyone to check out!

Janette and her team are clearly interested in helping others reduce their environmental impact, in a completely non-judgmental way. They are so knowledgeable and helpful.

New to refilling? New to trying to be greener? No problem! They welcome all, meet you where you are, and understand greener living can be a journey. Take the first step here!

Already doing what you can to reduce your waste but haven't been here yet? Stop in soon!

Love this store!!! Just popped in for some bday surprises and it’s just adorable. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. I could have spent the afternoon looking around. Highly recommend stopping by!!!

I have learned a great deal about how to live more sustainably by visiting the store.

Just stopped in and we could not have been happier with the experience. This is the closest thing to a one stop sustainable shop! Owner and employee were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Give this place a try if you have thought about trying to live a more sustainable life.

Here a nice lady sells the best, most effective soap I've ever used. Great. I highly recommend this place. Five stars!

Sustainable haus is the best zero waste shop in town :) they have the best refill options
