Zero waste shopping is not just for specialist and niche retailers. Large, multinational supermarket chains are also developing alternative ways to shop.
Retailers big and small can easily offer zero waste solutions and we can help you.
Customers bring their containers, weigh them, fill them up with your products, weigh them again, then either print a barcode to take to the pay point along with other items they are buying, or they can add multiple ‘weigh your own’ purchases and pay at the weigh point without the need to print anything out.
The only equipment you need to make this happen is:
- the display/storage for your products
- the weigh scales and barcode printing linked to your EPoS system
You could also add on a bagless self-serve checkout as part of the process. And let your customers fully take control of their shopping experience.
There are lots of ways you can promote your zero waste offering; with email marketing from your loyalty data, local press opportunities and PR. But also, in your outlet… Encourage your customers to bring their bags, boxes, jars and containers. Reuse packaging you’ve received as a business and maybe have a plastic bag drop point for anyone to use if they forget to bring their own.
There are endless ways you can build a community and help the environment whilst supporting the growth of your business.
Facilitate the movement.
