Why we love Zero Waste Daniel
Zero Waste Daniel (ZWD) is a truly unique brand based in Bushwick Brooklyn. Co-owned by Daniel Silverstein and Mario DeMarco, ZWD is known for its commitment to sustainability and unique design approach. The brand transforms pre-consumer waste—fabric scraps from other brands and factories—into stylish, genderless garments. Each piece is handcrafted in New York City, embodying a zero-waste ethos by ensuring that no material goes to landfills.
What makes ZWD particularly appealing is its fun, inclusive, and authentic vibe. They also feature in their store jewelry, beauty and small gifts items from other local makers. We asked the ZWD team to select 5 items that would make great gifts. See them below and then stop by their store to see even more!
