A new zero-waste shop is opening in Leith, joining the capital's growing list of environmentally-conscious stores.
ZERO is a pop-up shop on Ferry Road which will run each Saturday between 10am and 6pm.
It will be filled with items which otherwise would have been destined for the landfill.
The opening comes after The Eco Larder, a zero-waste supermarket, opened in Haymarket and The Refillery opened in the Southside.
ZERO is run by the recycling social enterprise Miixer CIC, which already have similar ventures in East Lothian.
There's a new Edinburgh shop selling 'rescued food' in return for donations
At the opening event on April 13, homeware and scientific equipment from Edinburgh University will be on sale.
Miixer CIC say: "Like our shops in Dunbar and Musselburgh, this will be full of weird and wonderful things diverted from landfill.
"At this, our opening event, there's stacks of laboratory glass and equipment from the Genetics Labs at Great Western Hospital, maps from Edinburgh Uni, homewares from Edinburgh clearances and all sorts of other random goodies.
"This is the only shop you could buy an incubator, an outfit for a night out, a wetsuit and a bathroom suite; all in one go. This is our first venture into Edinburgh and we will be accepting donations on the day."
