Have you heard about Zero Waste bulk stores? Have you been to one of them?
Bulk stores are completely life-changing if you talk about being zero waste. You can get there a wide variety of dry and fresh food, drinks and also reusable accessories, natural beauty, hygiene products. All without packaging or in recyclable, biodegradable one.
Of course, it’s possible to shop zero waste in a normal grocery store but bulk stores make shopping without packaging much easier, cheaper while still having a huge variety to choose from. I wish every city would have one of those as it would help to limit our disposable plastic usage.
Worth mentioned that bulk stores often support local businesses and collaborate with fair trade, bio, local companies, and farmers. Great for the local community and economy!
While living in Belgium as an Erasmus+ student now I was excited when I found a bulk store “Zonder Meer” on Happy Cow app. Even though its a small, cozy place it offers many different unpacked, bio, natural, local vegetables, dry and fresh products, and accessories. Everything there is either vegan or vegetarian. In short, you will find there everything you need to live a sustainable lifestyle.
So I decided to go and see it myself!
I love to find handmade bread, brownies and muffins made by locals in the bulk stores:) very delicious, even better quality (and probably healthier) comparing with markets. !
Mmm.. yea, sounds delicious! <3
Unfortunately, I did not see things like that in this bulk store I visited. Although, I have seen vegan pastries in many local cafes.
