How to Shop

Who We Are

Plastic waste is a problem - it's extremely wasteful and impacts the earth's ecosystem. Because plastic isn’t biodegradable, every piece of plastic ever made is still on this planet. So why do we buy our groceries including the packaging, only for throwing them away? Most of the time we don't really need it anyway. That’s why we are here as a plastic-free grocery shop where we sell everything in a bulk system. You can bring your containers from home, and refill them at our shop as much as you need. Together we can make a significant impact to do better for our mother earth!

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly.
We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”

Anne Marie Bonneau, The Zero Waste Chef

Why Shop With Us

Plastic-Free

We use our bulk bin system made of wood and glass for all of our products. Bring your containers from home, or buy our glass jar or recycled food bag, and fill them up.

Reduce Food Waste

Buy only how much you need, with a minimum weight of 10 grams. This prevents food-spilling from an unused food item.

How to Shop

1. Weigh

Bring your container from home. Weigh your container (with the lid on) at the weighing station. Print the sticker label and stick it on your container.

2. Fill

Fill in as much as you need. Please note that for spices, there’s a minimum amount of 10 grams purchase (which equals to 1 spoonful).

3. Pay

The initial weight will be deducted from the total weight, so you only pay what’s inside.

FAQs

Do you have questions? Here are some of our frequently asked questions.

What if I didn’t bring my own container?

You can buy our reusable container and choose what suits best for you from glass jars, reusable product bags, or little paper bags (free, for spices). If you buy the containers at our shop, you can skip the weighing process and fill it in right away.

Can I bring plastic containers?

Yes, of course. Everyone has their own journey to live zero-waste. You could be at the beginning of your journey and you have a couple of plastic containers at home. The emphasis is more on how to reuse and not waste or litter. We have a strict no-judgment policy at our shop!

Do you have a return policy?

If you aren’t happy with the quality of our products, you can return them to our shop with the receipt within 3 days. We would be happy to offer full refunds.

If you’re still unsure of how to buy the products in our shop, don’t hesitate. Our staff would be more than happy to assist you with a smile. We are very passionate about what we do, therefore we would be truly delighted to welcome you as our customer!

Did you know?

All food items that haven’t sold yet and are nearing their expiration dates will be donated to the food bank, so there is no food spilling on our end.
