In late 2016, Edgar decided to buck the trend and opened as a bulk grocery store in one of the world's most wasteful cities that is Hong Kong, precisely because we understand that there is no 'away' when we bin something, and there really isn't a planet B.
Sourced from all over Europe, our organic, natural, and fair trade food items are available in wall bins and glass jars for environmentally conscious shoppers to bring home in their own containers and cloth bags. Also on our shelves are reusables (from tea infusers to stainless steel and glass straws, tableware and many more) to help ease Hongkongers into a more sustainable lifestyle.
Gradually, we're seeing progress and the expansion of the local sustainable community, and it looks like we're here to stay. If the sheer presence of Edgar has proved anything, it is that a sustainable lifestyle of a natural and organic diet, which also ensures economic self-sufficiency for small producers, can be relatively affordable!
