Packaging-free food shopping

Packaging free shopping is a big part of zero-waste life and is becoming more and more important to people in general. This is vital as the amount of one-way use packaging and single-use plastic has been continuously increasing to an amount where we can no longer easily undo the damage. Single-use packaging and plastic have been threatening the world and our future for a long time, and it is calling for a significant change.

But how do you reduce your packaging, when grocery shopping...?

Organic-shops have already been spreading more and more, offering sustainable produce, and thus spare the environment.... though they do not necessarily help reduce the amount of one-way packing and single-use plastic.

This is why packaging-free shops are starting to emerge in all type of forms! Packaging-free is the newest and oldest trend at the same time. Why? New, because modern shops are opening in cities all around the world, advertising a sustainable way to buy your groceries and essentials. Old, because it's not that long ago where there was simply no other way than to shop packaging-free. Not until the middle of the past century did pre-packaged goods slowly begin to displace the old and original way of shopping.
