Unpackaged shopping - but why?

Shopping without packaging – why? Sure, it saves waste somehow. But is it really worth it? Oh yes! We'll show you why.

We believe that unpackaged shopping is much more than just getting groceries. It is an attitude to life, a real lifestyle.
When you shop without packaging, you automatically start to consume more consciously. For each food item, you have to think about how much of it you actually need and how much you should buy. Every decision is made actively and with your head. This way, you consume more consciously and intelligently and at the same time prevent food waste. You also avoid impulse purchases that cost you more money unnecessarily.

When you shop without packaging, you also support local businesses and give small shops a chance to survive in the world of supermarket monopolies. As an unpackaged store, we can tell you all about it: we can only survive through the active and constant support of our customers. With your purchase, you are also making an economic contribution and ensuring that innovative and creative business ideas can also find their place in the future.

Apart from that, we find it much nicer as a regular customer to know the staff at the unpackaged store on the corner personally than to do our shopping anonymously in any supermarket. Shopping can be an experience! In an unpackaged store, nice conversations at the checkout are inevitable.

The products in unpackaged stores are also generally healthier. At Original Unverpackt, for example, everything is organic and guaranteed to be the most sustainable version we could find.

Another important argument is mental health: Unpackaged shopping and a zero-waste lifestyle slows you down immensely. You can look at each product in its entirety without being prevented from doing so by the feeling that "opening the packaging obliges you to buy it". This way you can choose your products in peace and with time. Shopping here almost becomes a sensual experience.

Shopping without packaging is worthwhile in many ways. We very much hope to welcome you to our store soon.
