Zero Waste
Much of what we buy is made of plastic or in one way or another has a negative impact on the world around us. It can be different, as shown at Elemental Eco. Here you can do your shopping without packaging. In addition to groceries, you can also buy zero waste lifestyle products and organic vegetables here.
Marie Stella Maris offers care products (made from natural ingredients) also available as refills. Moreover, they donate a part of the proceeds to clean drinking water projects.
