In June 2015 Heidelberg's first package free shop opened. On 32 m² more than 150 foods are offered, there are also cleaning and laundry detergents, body care products and sustainable household and everyday products.
Filling your own containers reduces packaging waste. To buy only what you need means less food waste. In addition we see "package free" as part of a holistic approach that includes of course organic products, meaningful transports, avoidance or reuse of packaging in the supply chain, regional sources, fair trade, vegetarian and vegan products, green electricity and biogas.
