Original Unverpackt - Berlin's Supermarket Without The Packaging

Here's an idea that's bound to catch on. Original Unverpackt is going to be opening in Berlin soon. The big difference between it and other supermarkets is that it will serve up its over 600 items in bulk. Shoppers will bring their own containers and be able to purchase as much or little as they like. A significant amount of the cost of the food items we buy goes into the packaging and we are often forced into buying more than we need, contributing to spoilage and waste.

The project is being crowdfunded and the team is currently exploring their supply chain and looking for a space to put the first store, but they are already receiving inquiries about franchising.
