How/where can I buy groceries without plastic? Everything at local stores (like Albert Heijn) is wrapped in plastic.

    At Ekoplaza they have “wisselwaar” (https://www.ekoplaza.nl/nl/merk/wisselwaar) for some products, where they put stuff such as tea or nuts etc in glass pots. When you need new tea, for example, you can hand in the empty pot and get a new one. They will reuse the pot you hand in. They do not create any waste in this way.

    If you want to order groceries online, there is Pieter Pot (https://www.pieter-pot.nl/). They also work in a way such that no waste is generated for all or almost all of the products they sell. I think they also mostly put stuff in glass pots that can be reused.

    I think both options are probably a bit more expensive than Albert Heijn and they might not have all products you want to buy. But they do not create waste and I think they are great initiatives.
