Bio shops: the commitment of Naturasì
The path
We believe that acting in the direction of a sustainable development of human communities towards the environment cannot be limited to the principle of replacing one material with another, but that more courageous choices must be made.
The reduction of plastic must be the result of a conscious alliance with the community of people we engage with.
Our steps: Bulk Food
In 110 Naturasì stores there is a proposal for bulk food that goes beyond fruit and vegetable products, for which reusable packaging has been studied:
The reusable bag for fruit and vegetables for hygienic issues is made of domestic polyester by the cooperative Quid, which hires people with fragilities
GOTS certified reusable bread bags are made of organic cotton produced in India, the result of a collaboration with the French company Ecodis, a company with particular focus on environmental impact
The shopping bag made of organic cotton is the perfect reusable alternative to store your groceries, respecting the environment
Our steps: Water in bulk
Distributors of bulk water, filtered and vitalized, are available in 70 stores and this has almost eliminated the sale of plastic bottles in almost all stores. The goal is to place water dispensers in at least 120 stores by 2020
Our steps: Detergents in bulk
A choice of four ICEA certified organic bulk detergents is available in 209 stores
Our steps: Disposable products
In our shelves we have never exhibited disposable plastic products, anticipating the European Directive that provides for their elimination by 2021
Our steps: Reusable packaging
In logistics, especially for fresh products and fruit and vegetables, about 80% of the goods are handled through reusable packaging, which are totally part of the circle of our business
