Cool idea! It also seems like these brands understand some kind of reckoning is coming and are trying to get out ahead of it. I'm not opposed to the idea of reusable containers, but this model seems to come with a lot of brand lock-in.
Precycle (precyclenyc.com), a bulk grocery store in Brooklyn, is my ideal model. Customers bring in their own containers, weight them on entry, and then pay the difference in weight on their way out. Not do you save the packaging, you can purchase exact amounts of each item.
- andy_ppp 8y agoI’m totally up for paying a bit more and supporting these brands if it means less landfill and perfect recycling. This model works for a lot of things and packaging will always have advertising on it as unfortunate as that is. I’ve thought for a long time about government mandating containers but companies willing to do this is a great thing; I look forward to the day when I take all of the packaging with me back to the supermarket for it to be reused!
