Original Unverpackt: Berlin s Pioneering Zero-Waste Supermarket

At Berlin's Original Unverpackt supermarket, shoppers fill their own containers with bulk goods—no packaging required.

Preparation is key to success
From pasta and licorice to drinks and all-purpose cleaners, dispense precisely what you need. Create a detailed shopping list beforehand and bring reusable jars or bottles for each item.

Born from everyday frustration
The concept emerged 1.5 years ago when founders Milene (24) and Sara (31) grew tired of the plastic waste left after hosting a dinner. They decided to change that.

Affordable organic quality
Every product is organic. Pasta starts at just over €1 per kilo, while half a liter of yogurt costs €1.59. Regular customers note significant savings, free from the temptations of flashy packaging.

Would you embrace shopping at a packaging-free supermarket?
