This policy sets out how Ecomojo prepares and checks the guides it publishes about zero waste living. It explains where information comes from, how topics are chosen and what happens when something needs correcting.
How topics are chosen
Every guide on this site answers a question readers ask about zero waste living. Topics come from what people want to know: how to start reducing waste at home, what to do with items that cannot be recycled through council collections, how to store food without single-use packaging. The questions shape the editorial plan, and the guides are written for readers in the UK.
How a guide is researched
Research draws on public reference works such as encyclopaedias, official and public-body sites, and recognised organisations working in waste reduction and environmental sustainability. Facts are checked against more than one source where possible. Where a guide refers to a specific practice or recommendation, the underlying principle is explained so readers understand why it matters. Sources are listed under the article as further reading when they add value beyond what the guide itself covers.
How it is written
Guides are written in plain language. Technical terms are explained the first time they appear, and no prior knowledge of waste management or environmental science is assumed. The tone is practical and direct: what the reader can do, what the outcome is likely to be, what the limitations are. No exaggeration, no promises of results that depend on factors outside the reader's control. Steps are broken down and illustrated with examples from everyday life in the UK.
Independence
There is no paid placement on this site, no sponsored rankings and nothing sold to the reader. The editorial team decides what is published, in what order and with what emphasis. Guides are written to inform, not to promote a product, service or particular brand. Where a choice exists between approaches, the guide explains the trade-offs so the reader can decide what suits their circumstances.
Updates and corrections
Guides are reviewed when something changes: new regulations, updated advice from public bodies or a shift in what is widely available. A reader who spots an error or an outdated detail can write to [email protected], and corrections are made without delay. Where a significant update is made to a published guide, the change is noted at the foot of the article so returning readers know what has been revised.
How to suggest a topic
Topic ideas are welcome at [email protected]. Not every suggestion will become a guide, but every message is read and considered. The most useful suggestions are specific questions about zero waste living that the site has not yet covered, or gaps in existing guides that could be filled with more detail.
