How the refill works
To buy packaging-free food you can bring your own containers. Those could be glass jars, plastic containers, cotton bags or zip loc bags. There are also plastic-free paper bags available in the shop, as well as clean glass jars provided by other customers.
- Step 1: Bring your own containers
- Step 2: Weigh the empty container with the lid and write down the weight on one of the provided small papers
- Step 3: Fill your container or bag with products from bulk bins
- Step 4: Bring your full container and the little note to the kassa
Liquid refills
The liquid refill station is not self-service. Please bring your empty (and clean) bottle to the kassa. We’re happy to fill your bottle for you.
Packaging-free groceries
By reusing your own clean, dry containers, you can easily enjoy packaging-free groceries! Simply bring along jars, bags, or containers, and fill up on a variety of fresh, long-lasting products. This way, you skip single-use packaging, reduce plastic waste, and help keep your groceries fresher for longer. Shopping sustainably is simple or rewarding!
