Frustrated by excessive packaging and food waste, Frédéric Hamburger and Constance Leth founded LØS Market—Scandinavia’s first zero packaging supermarket.
The Copenhagen-based store is scheduled to open this summer.
Inspired by a similar shop in Germany, the store will sell over 400 organic products and source from local producers as much as possible. Customers will be encouraged to bring their own containers; however, the store will offer compostable paper bags for dry goods. Customers will be able to pour liquids, such as wine, oil and soap, into empty bottles available in the shop free of charge. Once returned, the used bottles will be washed at LØS Market by a certified washing system and then available to the customers to be used again, explains Hamburger.
