Our concept
The cooperative Basel unverpackt offers open-minded and conscious customers the possibility to purchase organic and preferably regional products of everyday use and consumption at fair prices. Bring along any container you’d like to refill and top up on your favourite goods. Outside of opening hours the shop will host lectures and workshops on topics of sustainable living, zero waste, recycling, preserving food and much more.
Our Objectives
With our fair products, the philosophy of package-free shopping and our activities at raising awareness regarding topics of sustainability, we would like to promote a holistic and conscious form of consumption — from seed to mouth — as a transparent and sustainable way of meeting people’s basic needs.
Our Principles
The cooperative Basel unverpackt strives to build a long-term network between customers and local growers of sustainably produced goods. Everyone that is involved has the possibility to participate and develop the concept of our local shop. By joining the cooperative you can become part of Basel unverpackt, actively participate and have your say on important decisions. We are also conscious of aspects of sustainability beyond our economic activities and try to take such aspects into account in terms of how we act. Last, but not least, it must be noted that we are non-profit orientated.
Who we are
Our team of seven, a colourful mix of interested individuals, has the same vision — we want to be an example for moderate and resource-saving consumption and to demonstrate an alternative that works. We also want to celebrate our professional diversity as a strength that assists us in managing the cooperative Basel unverpackt.
