I wonder if there is packaging disposed of in the back, out of sight. I reckon there has to be, but at least they buy bulk quantities, so much less packaging is used. All in all, in our imperfect world, this is a wonderful endeavor. They deserve to became a big chain ( if they stick to current values, and don't become too corporate )
Of course there is packaging involved on the business side of things. There has to be. The majority of the waste is from us, and catered to us, the consumers. If we don’t speak up about it nothing will happen. Too many people complain and want copious amounts of packaging so their food looks like it was shit out of a shiny unicorns ass. People are used to sterility now. They want it. We have to get back to the dirty.
Yeah ofc they have to buy stuff in packaging, but it’s one big bag instead of a thousands of small ones and overall a significant decrease in the amount of material used
I have numerous flashbacks of this store when faced with having to get another item in a plastic container over and over and over again. I wish the people in PA were smart enough to do this...
Love it! I wish my local shops have that kind of service. Maybe they thinking to expand throughout the World. You know we only have this Earth to Preserve what we can and have! 🤗💖
Wow not only is this better for the environment but it is also less stressful to look at. Most grocery stores are a sensory nightmare for me so I end up doing grocery pick up or delivery most of the time. I hope shops like this continue to open.
Absolutely fantastic, seeing this is so satisfying it soothes my soul. In france the AGEC law enables us to bring our own containers in supermarkets, bakeries.... But there are other problematics that may be brought in this video : the well being of the cows who gave the milk, the ingredients of the dishsoap, the origin and transport of the sugar....
I have a maybe annoying question- how does the food get into the bulk section? Doesn’t it get to the store packaged in something? Just out of curiosity ☺️
Thank you Rob for showing this store. I love it. I wish there was something like that near me but as you say can shop bulk sections and farmers markets and grow my own. 💕 That store looked very nice though and I now want to know what geranium dish soap is like.
we have lots of them coming in switzerland,which is very cool. here they are called 'unpackaged'. my problem is that they are barely affordable. is that different over there?
@@cassstephens9910.....Thank you very much for the lovely WISHES. As I live in northeast part of INDIA. It's raining most of the days at Assam ( Guwahati). Real summer starts from Mid July to 1st week of September. ( as Northeast is a hilly terrain ) . South , West , North India including some parts of East India are very hot in April to September. I am lucky to be in a weather matching American weather. 😎❤🌷🙏🙏
How were this goods transported and stored before going into the glasses containers? If they were in kg plastic bags that were disposed and transfered into this glass jars the waste is there. I only ask because I buy chycken breasts (almost the only animal protein I eat) and bring my own containers thinking I am saving plastic. The other day realized that supermarket receives the chicken breasts is 2kg plastic bags, the same amount I buy into my own plastic container... So indirectly, I am generating trash even if it doesn't come to my house...
Good to be aware of. In the final analysis, while our own behaviors are important (primarily for cultivating a crucial state of individual and collective consciousness without which we are collectively doomed), the most important changes must come about collectively. No single one of us can build an entire separate, parallel, sustainable civilization in our own backyard. (In fact, our biggest challenge is overcoming our own society's delusional kind of hyperindividualism that creates such false dichotomies in our minds in the first place.)
Me and my sister started a company, V Local Haven, that will be very similar to this to support the West Houston area! Would love some help if anyone is offering!
Need to verify by doing unannounced checks of their dumpster or trash cans and recycling stuff. Where’s the video of that and the containers of bulk foods shipped to this store?????
america!!! i don't care about zero waste, just compost and recycle and be efficient, do your best, but zero waste is nonsensical, replicators to be revealed soon, will recycle everything perfectly, meow, quantum, america, gesara, yay!
Wow! This is brilliant! I hope there will be one near us soon!
Thanks !!! Please don't give up ... and keep motivating people on this subject
Reduce our footprint is the goal!!

Wow! Rob what's next? This is fantastic! Keep up the great works you are doing! Educate to elevate!
Nice job Rob, you are making a difference!!
There is one in my home town! I love it! Zero Waste Bulk in Waterloo
I wish I knew you would be there, I moved to San Diego recently. You are so inspiring Rob😊
Love it! I wish my local shops have that kind of service. Maybe they thinking to expand throughout the World. You know we only have this Earth to Preserve what we can and have! 🤗💖
God bless you for all your work you do to send this message about environment!
I love that they have a compost program!
This is the best!!!!
We need some stores like this in the Seattle area!!
And Dallas too.
mimi's zero waste and scoop market are around !
Wow not only is this better for the environment but it is also less stressful to look at. Most grocery stores are a sensory nightmare for me so I end up doing grocery pick up or delivery most of the time. I hope shops like this continue to open.
I’ve often thought of this!!! This is great! ♥️ this!
That's awesome! We need one in Georgia.
We need this in Florida, especially the Tampa Bay area.

So cool! I looked it up and there are several zero waste stores just about an hour drive from me.
This is a great idea now we need more stores like this
Oh now San Diego has a zero-waste store. I moved from Diego two years ago, two months before the pandemic hit. Hope it does well.
yay san diego!
This is genius! Why isn't this a thing everywhere?
I have a maybe annoying question- how does the food get into the bulk section? Doesn’t it get to the store packaged in something? Just out of curiosity ☺️
Most likely reusable packaging. Maybe sent back for refilling? Hopefully something sustainable and zero waste.
Or at least 1 packaging per 100 servings instead of 1 packaging per 1 serving. :)
I love this! A dream come true!
Thank you Rob for showing this store. I love it. I wish there was something like that near me but as you say can shop bulk sections and farmers markets and grow my own. 💕 That store looked very nice though and I now want to know what geranium dish soap is like.
We need these in every city.
Zero Waste meets WASTE personified!!
This MUST become the new norm!
Great idea! Wish we had one nearby.
Great video Robin. ♻️✌🏽
SOOO wonderful!
Omg I am so so so so excitedddddd
Far out man! I love it
That’s amazing bring it to France! The organic stores here are packaging 2 zucchini at the time it’s terrible
Excellent video
I love this I just wish we could have the same option everywhere 💚
I would love to buy bulk. Maybe you could do a video on how to start a bulk store or maybe merchandise a section in a regular grocery to to start out.
we have lots of them coming in switzerland,which is very cool. here they are called 'unpackaged'. my problem is that they are barely affordable. is that different over there?
Many groceries shut down their bulk section during pandemic lockdown & haven’t restarted them yet.
I know...very discouraging. Maybe we can all request to see whether they might reopen?
That’s amazing!
Amazing!
Yaaaay!
Oh wow that is flipping awesome I can't wait to see if we ever get one. Also I still haven't gotten my free seeds yet.
Love it
I really love the idea. I’m curious of how it all works. Sadly stores like that is illegal here in Denmark 🤷🏼♀️
Why is it illegal in Denmark? I can't imagine what the reason for this would be.
i just saw a youtube video with one in copenhagen earlier today...
los market.
Wao Wao Wao me encanta
Wish we too have a zero waste shop at Guwahati.
With Love from SAM
Guwahati Assam INDIA 🙏❤🌷
Heard very, very hot for you in India right now from my in-laws! Wishing you and your family well 💌🙏💕

I need one of these shops in my life! Rob, make sure you wear some sunscreen. That sunburn looks painful.

Really Just now?
My hometown (less than 100 000 inhabitants but an university) has got such a Store, too, already
(OK, its slightly smaller)
This need to be everywhere .like McDonald's

Me and my sister started a company, V Local Haven, that will be very similar to this to support the West Houston area! Would love some help if anyone is offering!
Join zero waste group and ask for some help there or contact any zerowaste shop most of them are very friendly and willing to give help/info
@@pigstain7531 thank you so much, I will take that advice and action on it!!
