Who's working on a bunch of low climate impact stores? I'd love to buy things indexed for climate impact and waste, but I don't think I've ever seen any options like that.

Side effects like 'no bubble pack' and most things being made down the road would be amazing advantages I would think.




As I‘ve just mentioned in another comment, we have a special store that sells groceries without packaging, bring your own container and fill it.

Also some supermarkets in Germany work on removing packaging from fruits and vegetables where it’s not needed, which is nice to see.

Coconuts, water melons, ginger and such get brandings with a laser.

German supermarket giant EDEKA seems to be the leader so far, they have pilot projects where customers can bring reusable containers for products. [1]
