Goods without packaging are now available in a store located in the capital of Germany - Berlin. The goods are offered in bulk to avoid recycling of their packaging.
The founders of the unique store say they have decided to open such a market site after numerous concerns from experts and ordinary people about the problems of food packaging recycling.
In the Berlin store without your own packaging you can buy everything in bulk, such as ground Colombian coffee and olives. Customers can visit the site only with their own jars and bottles, where sellers can place the requested goods.
In the store you can buy bulk muesli, rice, pasta, beer, vodka and even red wine. The drinks can be filled both in bottles and cups.
Food will be measured on scales at the checkout, where it will be paid. The store will also introduce a deposit system for customers who have arrived without containers in which to fill the products.
The first visitors to the German store say that it strongly resembles the groceries of a time when cashiers wore aprons and measured the required goods to the gram.
The owners of the unique store for unpackaged goods are two German women aged 24 and 31. One of them says she was determined to open a similar facility to help protect the environment and recycle waste.
According to the Ministry of the Environment, the Germans dispose of 16 million tons of waste annually. And three-quarters of the waste found in the sea is plastic bags and other plastic packaging, lighters and toothbrushes, which take 350 to 400 years to decompose, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
The store without packaging has another serious advantage over our familiar supermarkets. There you can buy as much of a food as you need, not pounds of a product that you will not use afterwards.
