Unpackaged

13-6-2012

Unpackaged was founded in 2006 by Catherine Conway in the belief that there is a better way to sell products, so the customers can do the right thing, for themselves and for the environment. How it works: remember to bring your containers from home (if you forget these, you can buy reusable containers there), weigh your containers at the counter then choose the product & amount you want, take your goods home & enjoy. You can bring in the Unpackaged shop glass jars, tupperware, old takeaway cartons, brown paper bags, plastic bags, old packaging. Good for the environment and no waste in packaging.
