We created Ekoplaza LAB in cooperation with the British environmental action group A Plastic Planet. We hope that other supermarkets in the Netherlands and the UK will soon follow in our footsteps.
Sian Sutherland, the group’s co-founder, says: "The introduction of the world's first plastic-free pop-up store is a milestone in the worldwide battle against plastic pollution."
YES TO GLASS
Glass containers can be a good alternative to plastic. They’re not 100 percent plastic free, because there’s a very thin layer in the coating of some lids, but we’re working on that. Our lids are free of bisphenol A, an industial chemical which may affect human health, but they will eventually contain no plastic. Glass is also a strong material that’s good at preserving the quality of the product – and it’s infinitely recyclable!
Bluewater – A source of good
The world uses more than one million plastic bottles every minute, mostly for drinking water. Less than 9 percent of these are recycled.
The Swedish company Bluewater cuts out plastic bottles by supplying technology that purifies drinking water on the spot. It’s cleaner, it’s healthier, and it’s helping to create a sustainable future without plastic bottles in our oceans. So it’s good for you, humanity, and the planet.
