The average Belgian produces almost 10 kg of waste a week, which is more than 500 kg of useless garbage a year! Savina from Antwerp wanted to fight this problem at the core. In the summer of 2014, after investment rounds and a crowdfunding campaign, she opened the first Zero Waste shop in Belgium.

These zero waste shops are popping up around the world. Berlin, Milan, Toronto and many more cities have opened a grocery store which produces the minimum amount of waste. They do this by selling their products in bulk. As a customer you bring your own cups, jars, bags and bottles and weigh them before you refill them. This way you can buy your daily favorites without the needless and excessive packaging, but by precycling. 

IntoFood talks to Savina, thee proud owner and founder of the Zero Waste Shop in Antwerp.
